If 508 digits are not enough, are1000 digits be sufficient? Both limits
appear quite arbitrary to me.

This 1000 is just a restriction on the typmod of numeric.
You can still use a much higher number of digits, if you use
unconstrained numeric:
test=> create table test (n numeric);
CREATE TABLE
test=> insert into test values (10::numeric ^ 99999);
INSERT 0 1
test=> select length(n) from test;
