I solved this = getting what I wanted by writing my own macro:
\define[3]\physicalquantitye{\hbox{#1 \times \unit{10^#2 #3}}}
% \physicalquantitye{number}{exponent}{unit} -- gives short form of unit
That makes sense to me and is working fine.
There are a few more like this on the wiki (units page), in case anyone finds
them useful.
