"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

I can't remember whether it happened that way in the radio series or the books as they're quite different (let's pretend the film never happened).
Apparently, it's just as good to think the universe is created just for you.
It's way bigger than the difference between having one penny in you account and having all the money in the world.
EDIT: of course, space wins either way if you count volume rather than distance - the "orders of magnitude" compound additively. and I also doubt that "one scrollbar unit" corresponds exactly to a power of 10, so it's still a weird comparison.
