Ooh - I have an idea to extend it!

Once we start getting to values such as \(\bar{bar{\bar{\bar{\text{V}}}}\), where there are more than three bars over a letter, one should denote this by putting the Roman numeral for the number of bars above a bar which in turn is above the letter.

So for instance, \(\bar{bar{\bar{\bar{\text{V}}}}\) would be:



We can continue to stack to stack numerals one the top-most one has more than three bars, until we get extended Roman numeral representations such as:



The limit of this extension is a series of M's separated by bars, which is equivalent to a power tower of 1,000's, as tall as you're willing to write out. With that said, if there was a naming system for these representations one could easily beat Bower's tower's and create an arbitrarily high tiered -illions system... I'll leave that to you if you want to.

Cool blog post by the way, I like how you're approaching an ancient system from a googological standpoint!
