  Unrelated to the thread, but...
  When you need that huge amount of spheres to make something that's usually
an indication that using (only) spheres is not the best solution.

  Usually when making curved pipes or whatever, one of the best solutions is
to use cylinders to connect the points and spheres (with equal radius) at
the connection points.
  There are, of course, other solutions as well.
