First of all, the "l_few" (file with fewer lines) is file_1 according to the text, so I swapped the file names to change as little as possible in your original program. Then I came up with this, hope ...

After reading a lot on the subject I decided to abandon the conversion to numpy as "dtype=object" is absolutely necessary for manipulating very large numbers (larger than 2**64) and using numpy arrays...
