Good catch. Some big numbers are way too big to mean anything physical, or exist in any sense. (Up to our everyday experiences at least. Maybe in a few years, after the singularity, AI proves that there are infinite many small discrete structures and proves ultrafinitist mathematics false.)

I think these questions mostly only matter when one tries to understand their own relation to these concepts, as GP asked.
