That limit is 52 bits for storage in a 64 bit long double. After that it will get rounded to approximately 15 decimal digits of precision; the exact rounding depends on the value.
The actual microprocessor handles 16 bit longer numbers generated internally but I don't think AppleScript allows for storage, or later usage, of those - extended - results.
