+1 on Tobie's comment: Use smaller z-indexes.
Scientific notation isn't hard to parse, if you want to handle it that
way, but even that's problematic -- that number has been rounded
(2.14748e9 == 2,147,480,000, which != 2,147,483,647), and so even
comparing numeric values isn't going to work. Knocking a few orders of
magnitude off your maximum z-index is probably your best bet. I mean,
even the range 10000 through -10000 gives you a massive number
(20,001) of vertical planes to stack...
FWIW,
