Here it is in JavaScript (feel free to play around with it): https://tonicdev.com/tolmasky/widest-roman-prime

Took me only a couple of minutes since it was mainly just searching for the right npm packages to piece together. Say what you like about micro libraries, but for explorations like this it really makes JavaScript in a league of its own.
