I'm not seeing any alternative though.

For any module which does math with it (eg casting prior to
variable multiplication/division), perhaps to save some noise in
the code the LONGTYPE could be set up as a macro at the top
of the file and then the casts should look like 
 (LONGTYPE)chellhd.rows * cellhb*cols

setting up strfmt=LONGFMT for %llu or %lu is a bit uglier, but
a number of other modules pull such tricks to aviod CELL/FCELL/
DCELL switch statements.
