You could define it if you want but it kind of implodes since the whole point of our bases is just to describe what numerals we're allowed to use, and all those other sets of numbers are compositions of our numerals.
Systems engineer here, we use it sometimes for compression / crypto stuff or when using very specific mathematical properties of each base for some operations but that's not too often.
