Using one of the links that Danny Yoo provided I've extended the  
solution provided by Don Arnold to accept integers with up to 306  
digits. Simply replace the groupings list with the following list, and  
change the MaxDigits value to 306:

groupings = ['centillion', 'novemnonagintillion', 'octononagintillion',
              'septnonagintillion', 'sexnonagintillion',  
'quinnonagintillion',
              'quattuornonagintillion', 'trenonagintillion',  
'duononagintillion',
              'unnonagintillion', 'nonagintillion',
