Interesting concept. So they can't be called "base-n", but any mathematical concept is still valid of course. And there may even be a name for it that I don't know of.
In fact they can be expressed as polynomials:
7a³ + 3a² + 0a + 0
6a³ + 3a² + 4a + 0
etc..
Where a=2

I don't know what made you think of this idea. In base-n system, numbers greater than or equal to n are 'banned'.
Anyway, the illustration given by you was interesting.

Does anyone have a name for
a number system where the
digits can be values larger
than the base? Here is an
example using base-2 places
but filling them with digits
up to 9. Each four digit
number shown below has a
value of 68 in base-10.
8's 4's 2's 1's place
7 3 0 0 
6 3 4 0 
4 5 7 2 
1 9 9 6 
8 1 0 0 
1 9 8 8
