The 34s follows the same paradigm as classic HP calculators: one digit, one line. In addition to this there is a handy shortcut with the # constants. What exactly do you consider strange?

A program line that contains a number like -1,234567890123456 E-199, let alone a 34-digit value in double precision mode, would require a substantial number of bytes which can vary with the value itself. Implementing this is not trivial. Maybe Pauli can say more about the details.
