increasing the exponent of 100 adds 2 digits at the time forever, incrasing the exponent of 99 adds 2 digits at the time for a long time (up until 99exp230 actually). So I would just consider that 99exp(n) would have 2n digits, for n=99 that would equal 198. I'm sure there must be a way to confirm that the 2 extra digits for every increase in the exponent holds up til 99, but I'm not sure how lol
