I got 10,067,892,461 = 9,910,110,199 + 144,959,441 + 12,822,821, which I think is pretty impressive.

Ah that is neat. For most smaller numbers, it seems to use 0 a lot, which is not interesting. But your example is the first one I saw that didn't include 0.

It uses 0 a lot because you're giving it such easy numbers that it only needs to solve them as the sum of two palindromes.
