Maybe a dumb question (I'm using Free42 rather seldom), but is there any way to display all these extra (internal) digits in the Free42?

Glen Sanft's FWIW program here was a nice way, but unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. Anyway, for the last 12 digits of PI, for instance, we'd only have to multiply it by 1E21 and take the fractional part:

PI E 21 * FP -> 6.43383279508e-1

As Werner noticed, the last digit should be a 3, not an 8.
