Reference values:

• A signed 64-bit number has a maximum value of +9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (2^63 - 1)
• A signed 32-bit number has a maximum value of +2,147,483,647 (2^31 - 1)
• For the online interpreter linked on your site the maximum allowed value is +16,777,215 (2^25 - 1) (~0.78% of the biggest signed 32-bit number)

Out of curiosity, is this a limitation of Befunge? What if I wish to represent actual big numbers, with binary representations bigger than 24 bits, or bigger than 32 bits, or bigger than 64 bits? Are these artificial limitations or limitations of the language?
