Erm, wait of course you just need:

#define DECIMAL_DIGITS(n) \
   ((n) < 10 ? 1 : \
    (n) < 100 ? 2 : \
    (n) < 1000 ? 3 : \
    (n) < 10000 ? 4 : \
    (n) < 100000 ? 5 : \
    (n) < 1000000 ? 6 : \
    (n) < 10000000 ? 7 : \
    (n) < 100000000 ? 8 : \
    (n) < 1000000000 ? 9 : 10)

#define PROCNUMBER_BITS 18
#define MAX_BACKENDS ((1 << PROCNUMBER_BITS) - 1)
#define PROCNUMBER_CHARS DECIMAL_DIGITS(MAX_BACKENDS)
