That system for naming hex numbers in French

About a month ago, someone (I think it was Antoine Leca) posted a system for
naming hex numbers in French. He had 0x10000 as "seize mille". Since hex
numbers tend to be grouped in groups of 2, 4, 8, etc. digits, I recommend that
0x10000 = "une myriade", 0x100000 = "seize myriades", 0x1000000 = "cent
myriades", 0x10000000 = "mille myriades". But what comes after "quinze mille
quinze cent quinzante-quinze myriades quinze mille quinze cent
quinzante-quinze" (0xFFFFFFFF) ?
