Building is permitted. Use render targets.
Edit: I have code, enjoy.
Put CreateLargeCharacters; in @Initialize.
Dump this somewhere else:

Adds:
DrawBigInteger(x, y, integer, scale, layer);
Draws a large positive integer at the location. Each character is 12x20 with 2 pixel spacing between. I don't recommend scaling them to anything but 1, they will blur otherwise.
DrawBigString(x, y, "String", scale, layer);
Draws a large alphabetical string at the location. No special characters, only the 26 letters and a space. Characters are automatically converted to upper case. Again, scaling them to anything but 1 will blur the letters, don't do it.
These functions are not optimized so if you want to draw a million things at once I'd advise taking a look at them and rebuilding them to your specifications.
