IIV would never be used. In Roman numerals at most one smaller unit can come in front of a larger one. The code doesn't do any validation though.

While it doesn't say anything about IIV specifically, they sure got creative enough to sometimes subtract more than one of the smaller units from a larger one.

Yes, that does demonstrate my point.
