  I don't think that's a problem, unless he is using measures of the order
of magnitude of one nanometer.

  Double-precision floating point numbers are quite flexible, and using
0.035 as unit is about exactly as accurate as using 1 as unit. It's only
when you start going to real extremes (like using 0.000000035 as unit)
when you might start getting problems.
