The whole exercise seems rather useless indeed, imho.

Using different bases is only important for input and output.

Doing other arithmetic, say + - *, in different bases than 2 seems just 
overkill. [integer division can get non-integer results, so such results 
even cannot be stored in integer arithmetic]

Internally [storage and arithmetic] the only logical base is 2.

If you need more resolution than javascript can deliver natively,
more than 32 bit integer,
just define an array of javascript native [= base 2] numbers. 

Then you would only need to accommodate for that.
