Ah, I get the idea behind tu'onono. I suppose if you were asking for a
number of hundreds you would use 'xonono'.

I thought tu'o meant a [null] number, not a digit.
I suppose you could interpret tu'o as taking the same amount of digits
up as '0'/'no', in which case your interpretation holds.
Otherwise, CLL seems to be fairly unspecific about it; I'm personally
inclined to interpret "renotu'otu'o" as you said, and interpret
"renotu'o" as 'any positive number starting with the digits 20'
