By request, here’s the pattern.
Pay particular attention to the cases of wà n (è¬ / 万) and yì (å„„ / 亿). When the numbers quantifying those are greater than ten, wà n and yì are written separately.
| 8 | bÄ |
| 58 | wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 658 | liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 5,658 | wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 35,658 | sÄnwà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 435,658 | sìshÃsÄn wà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 9,435,658 | jiÇ”bÇŽi sìshÃsÄn wà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 79,435,658 | qÄ«qiÄn jiÇ”bÇŽi sìshÃsÄn wà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 379,435,658 | sÄnyì qÄ«qiÄn jiÇ”bÇŽi sìshÃsÄn wà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
| 6,379,435,658 | liùshÃsÄn yì qÄ«qiÄn jiÇ”bÇŽi sìshÃsÄn wà n wÇ”qiÄn liùbÇŽi wÇ”shÃbÄ |
Still higher units follow the pattern of wà n and yì.
Note: When lÃng (zero) is a medial, it is always written separately.
| 507 | wÇ”bÇŽi lÃng qÄ« | 五百零七 |
| 40,507 | sìwà n lÃng wÇ”bÇŽi lÃng qÄ« | å››è¬é›¶äº”百零七 |

Very helpful.
Just to be sure, is the following correct (regarding the separation of “waÌ€n”)?
1010000 – yÄ«baÌŒi lÃng yÄ« waÌ€n
1100000 – yÄ«baÌŒi yÄ«shà waÌ€n
100010000 – yÄ«yì lÃng yÄ« waÌ€n
100100000 – yÄ«yì lÃng yÄ«shà waÌ€n
Thanks.

yÄ«baÌŒi lÃng yÄ« waÌ€n –> yÄ«baÌŒi lÃng yÄ«waÌ€n
yībǎi yīshà wàn (OK)
yÄ«yì lÃng yÄ« waÌ€n –> yÄ«yì lÃng yÄ«waÌ€n
yÄ«yì lÃng yÄ«shà waÌ€n (OK)

Thanks a lot. Turned out that these rules are not the easiest things to code. But here’s a try:
