That's actually a pretty bad example, because I'm currently running
explorer.exe-6.0.2900.5512, but never mind.
The long version strings are just related to an habit of using small
version numbers. Or a huge development flow.
programs with 1.103 version numbers have no reason to be a problem.

When you say something like that, it's obvious you're motivated by
feelings, not reason. If you accept large numbers, the position of a
number in a string of dots does not indicate anything about the
magnitude of the change! "Why not" is a perfecly valid answer to your
question.
The only requirement I see in version strings is that they shall
indicate a progression in a "lexical" order (1.0<1.1<2.0; 10.04<12.06).
Apart from that, i don't see a strict requirement in the number of
subparts in any version string.
