Wonder if this is just the website not being able to cut the number in half, or whether they did this on purpose

I feel like its on purpose but i also feel like web designers are often incompetent with stuff like that. So im undecided.

Maybe the boss said, "Remove wordwrap in headline text for this post."

To be fair the browser default for stuff like this is often kind of bad. Like browsers would rather give you a scroll bar than do a word break (and I can pretty much guarantee that's what's happened here as I can scroll right and see the full number).
