It could of course be read as "product of (two) ((hundred) digit prime numbers)" or "product of ((two hundred) digit prime numbers)".

I don't think so; the hyphen disambiguates them. The latter would have been "two-hundred-digit" or just possibly even "two-hundred digit"; "two hundred-digit prime numbers", to me, unambiguously indicates the former.
