Well, that usage isn't used at all in British English. According to that site, "666.666666666666" should be pronounced "six hundred sixty six and six hundred sixty six billion, six hundred sixty six million, six hundred sixty six thousand, six hundred sixty six trillionth(s)", which is simply ludicrous!

I'm curious, how would British English pronounce this number?
