I believe the answer is of one of two forms (or even both). (1) There are
other number-forming elements we're not familiar with yet, (2) Klingons have
some sort of scientific notation just as we do, and we don't know how to use
it.
There's a third possibility, of course. (3) Higher Klingon numbers are even
stranger than this, and they don't follow any known numeric conventions at
all.
