+1 for readability.

But in support of no change, When was the last time you looked at long
sequences of python digits outside of your editor/IDE?  You probably
don't deal with them interactively (and if you do you probably paste
them in).

So reasonable editors could just color groups differently. E.g.:

    123456789012345
    ^    ^    ^
    red  blue red
