I checked also all other instances where WORD_SIZE was replaced in #16219, but didn't see other problems.

As far as I understood, the only consequence was to (potentially) slow down a computation in ndigits by not taking advantage of the greater range of values available in Int64 instead of Int32 (more div than necessary instead of *).
