What about a 2-tuple with two numbers, one being the BigInt and one being the exponent. So 1.000054 would be (1000054, -6) = 1000054*10^(-6). Yours is probably

Yours is more space-efficient for real-world numbers.

This is basically floating-point. IEEE 754, BTW, allows for 10-based floats, but IDK if anybody uses it.
