Each slot is a floating point number. I once used such EEL floating point number to store Bytes (in fact JSFX sliders for characters of text), and found that I could store five bytes in each. So I suppose it's safe that here are least 40 bits in the mantissa. I guess in fact it should be 47 before it gets unnormalized, plus the sign and the exponent and the exponent's sign, which would be tricky to access.

For such numbers beware of the fact that EEL uses a "soft" compare with any "==" or equivalent compares. Here the symbol "===" is provided for binary compare.
