Here's a complementary issue. Input file 'large-in-dollars.ill'
(Vadim, I'll send a copy to your personal email) has a $900M
face amount and a premium of $109M. Kim designed it so that no
number in any column ever reaches one billion and therefore it
is just below the threshold where "scaling" would be performed.

Create PDFs both the old way and the new way, and compare them.
On the sixth page, labelled "5 of 8", the "old" column spacing
in the table of numbers looks preferable:
 - it seems less cramped, using more of the available page width;
 - in the first row of the table, the "Premium Outlay" column
   isn't wide enough to be clearly separate from the column to
   its left, and it slightly overlaps the column to its right.
