Those interested in this might find my paper on "Representing numeric data in 32 bits while preserving 64-bit precision" to be of interest. Can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.02914 (note the code available as auxilliary files). In the context of this compressor, it could be one of the compressors competing to compress a block. It works well for data converted from a decimal representation with a small number of digits.
