At first glance that is neither obviously a benefit nor obviously a drawback.

Based on the function name alone, it is not easy to guess what it will do (e.g., maybe it will paraphrase 3 to "three" and 10000000 to "enormous"). How about something like strbuf_filesize? If I understand the code correctly, this jumps units each time it exceeds 1.0 of the next unit (bytes, KiB, MiB, GiB), which sounds like a fine behavior.
