You're dramatically underestimating. You need something like 2^2^2^5000 digits or something crazy like that.

yes, but even the dramatic underestimate shows how useless it is. I also imagine that current estimates could be significantly optimized if there was some usecase for them. the 1k-10k multiplication regime has actual usecases, so there has been some optimized implementations of theoretical integer multiplication algorithms in this regime.
