Just a small remark.
Billion and Trillion are English terms and in daily language are used in the short scale. Other languages (e.g. Dutch, German also IIRC) use long scale
I would recommend adding a note to the extension explaining that (especially if it is used with other languages).
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

I would also point out that if this extension is for phpBB 3.3.x then the PHP version must be at least 7.1.3
