IEEE754 64-bit representation already has infinity:
uint64_t x = 0x7ff0000000000000ULL; printf("%f\n", *(double *)&x);
output:
inf
But you could use a representation where 0 is 0, and 1 is infinity, saving 63 bits...

I don't consider infinity to be a number though. Especially not in a largest number contest.

Let 0 correspond to zero, and 1 corresponded to Rayo's number. Crisis averted!

Let all values encode Rayo's number. 64 bits saved!
