It will depend on how anal you are. If you like things
lined up in nice columns this may not work as well
as you hoped. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. On the other hand, if you don't mind wide columns,
adding a couple more digits probably wouldn't hurt. You
might also want to leave some room for negative numbers,
with their extra minus sign, if you are expecting any.
