"single integer" what does that mean?

Any integer number is single.

You are mixing the concept of number with it's representation [again?].

Which I think is not true, 
but in any case you should not just say that,
without any argument.

Why should hexadecimal representation be less preferable than 
array representation?

I thought the whole array represents[!] the number?

What is your concept of reality?

Sorry?

Methinks you should have a clear idea of number theory,
and keep it separate from the practical limitatons of
javascript number representation.

The representation can be internal, binary string, higher base string,
array of base maximized members, array of array [of ...] of the latter, etc.

In the Forth language, I wrote a compiler for the Sygnetics 2650 CPU in 
1982, integer numbers were 32 bit values, representation was in any base
and upto base-36 defined by 10digits+26letters.

A 3 character string integer base 36 has a maximum value of 46,656 btw,
so just 6 characters maxes 2,176,782,336 nice to know if you are worried 
running out of car numberplate numbers.
