A brick is 0.5 TU by 0.5 TU by 0.6 TU
So, a TU is either 2 studs across or 5 plates up

There is a total flat surface area of 205520896 bricks, multiplied by height
The height is 19999980 TU multiplied by 6 (1 TU = 2 studs = 6 plates), which is 119999880.
So that's 205520896 multiplied by 119999880, which comes out to be 24,662,482,857,492,480.

Here's a precise calculation.
Height from plate up to where it starts getting glitchy: 999999 TU
Height from plate down to where it starts getting glitchy: 999999 TU
Total height: 999999 * 2 = 1999998
Total width: --- || ---
Total length: --- || ---
Total area (3D): 19999983 = 7999976000023999992
In studs (3D): 7999976000023999992 * 2 = 15999952000047999984
((999999 * 2) ^ 3) * 2 = 15999952000047999984

That's different than your other number port...
But I can see a few differences between the maths.
- ip is using 19999980 for height, you are using 1999998
- you aren't using the area value, this may or may not affect the outcome
- you are calculating the area in non-existent 0.5x TU brick cubes, ip is (trying to) do it in plates
- that number is different from your last one!
I pass no judgement on these differences, just saying they are there is all
