I'm amazed at developers who don't grasp that you don't need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case...

Even if you want it to be human readable, you don't need to include the name into every field and use balanced separators.

Any CSV variant would be an improvement already.

Even using C#'s decimal type (128bit) would be an improvement! I count 22 characters per numbers here. So a minimum of 176bit.
