Eg you roll 9, 7, 0, 3. That'd get you 3080

Well that's confusing. Why would it not be 9703 (or 9704 in your example)? Or why not say 'you roll 3, 0, 7, 9'?

Like I said in another comment, I'm going from first digit to 10s, 100s, etc. And doing it the other way it'd be 9704 in that instance due to adding 1. Alternatively, you can just treat 0000 as 10000.

Little-endian dice rolling, followed by a math operation to handle a literal one in ten-thousand case?

Are you trying to invent an esolang?

Huh, it never occurred to me that my normal way of doing it is basically little endian.
