That's assuming that one bit is one mil, yes? I've seen Protel measure mils up to 3 or 4 decimal places.
That would make a difference.

Even if a microinch was the internal unit, a standard 4 byte unsigned integer would be able to hold 4.3e9 microinches, or 4300 inches. Close, but not quite there. And even if they had used signed integer (now why would that be?), it's still over 2000 inches.
