I'll make a note of that and see if we can give you 5 digits.  The AccuVote
provides 5 IIRC.
 

  Confirmed.  On the latest Accu-Basic reports we go to a 2 line
format for 5 digit results (at least on the candidate).  The code:
   IF candctr.total > 9999 THEN
    PRINT "####################" candidate.name
    PRINT "                  
#####" candidate.total
   ELSE
    PRINT "###################<####" candidate.name
candidate.total
   ENDIF

  Even on an AV-TS?  Considering even trivial voting time (say
30 seconds?), 30,000 ballots represents at least 250 voting hours. 
That's full out 24x7 voting for over 10 days!
