The honest answer? You make something up. Either a geresh after each
group, or multiple g'rashim (plural of geresh), or dots (extending to
double and triple dots) above the letters, or stick in words for
thousand/myriad/million as in Hixie's old draft. There just aren't
enough examples of usage around to say anything normative.
