a huge order of magnitude is not accepted scientific language. An order of magnitude (increase) is a fixed expression used for "roughly a factor of ten", as mentioned in the starting post. But the second part of your argument is correct. Every one of many orders of magnitude means multiplying by ten again. But of course, "hype" is measured in even larger units.
