Either is fine, and the choice would probably be determined by what other (big) numbers were being mentioned in the same context.

bIp hundred thousand (num morpheme) - (wa’)vatlhbIp 10 million (qep’a’ 2020) - wejmaHbIp 30 million (DIS 2889) - wejvatlhbIp 30 million (DIS 2889)
The first "30 million" seems to be a typo for {wejmaH'uy'}. -- De'vID
You’re right. It is: (MO to DeSDu’, DIS 2889): For tens of millions, you have a choice. 30,000,000 could be {wejmaH'uy'}, as you suggest, or it could be {wejvatlhbIp}. Either is fine, and the choice would probably be determined by what other (big) numbers were being mentioned in the same context. If no other numbers are around, flip a coin. Call it a case of copy-and-paste interruptus!
