I wondered the same. Or it may be a case of not knowing what "orders of magnitude" means.

Going from 200/month to 20,000/month is not terribly unrealistic, _and_ "a few orders of magnitude" more.
Being a programmer one might like to think in base-2 orders :)
And as a physicist or mathematician, he would probably do base-e orders.
Or "few". Maybe he meant "couple"?
