You can increase or decrease space between digits though.

Slightly out of the box, but probably legal.
6E8, moving the two right sticks of the 0. 9E8 might be possible, but I don't think that's the accepted way of making a digital 9.
So far out of the box it's probably illegal.

Wisest answer:
a. $5118^{11}$
By removing the two sticks of the zero and placing them on exponent :p
Debatable:
b. $5$^$118$ $= 5^{118}$ by using the caret symbol
Still debatable, allowing different sizes:
c. $11^{5118}$
Allowing that digits can have different sizes
Extremely debatable solution:
d. $5118! ge 5^{16762}$
by cutting sticks
This solution could be acceptable for mathematicians' haters...
e. $56/0 longrightarrow +infty$, yes, the divide symbol is smaller than digits...
All of these solutions still remain if you can:
flip by 180° the sheet of paper (or your computer), and that is also a debatable action !
Which gives :
a. $8115^{11}$
b. $8$^$115$ $= 8^{115}$
c. $11^{8115}$
d. $8115!$

There are a few notations for insanely large numbers. The Knuth up arrow operator is one:
Move the top and bottom lines from the zero, to surround the left two lines of the zero:
5 ↑ 18
Trouble is you need (at least) two of those arrows, or a superscripted exponent, to get really huge numbers. Not easy by moving two lines. So we try something else.....
Alternative solution: move the left two lines of the zero inward at a diagonal to get this:
5 Σ 18
I defy anyone to compute Σ 18, the value of the Busy Beaver function for an input of 18 ..... let alone 5 x that value. Hint: start at "inconceivably vast" and then scale up an inconceivable number of times, or something like that.

Without adding extra digits and keeping with the digital-like format,
938
You can do this by
Removing the two matches on the left side of the zero and turning on horizontal to make the 0 a 3, and the other match to the top right of the 5 to turn it into a 9.

I'm going to guess either
999 as that removes the possibility of any operators/exponents/etc.
OR
80E which converts to 100000001110 as binary

Without going too far out of the box:
15118 by removing the top and bottom matches from the 0 (creating 2 ones) and using them to create a one at the front
Actually, that should be:
51181 using the same method but putting the new digit at the end.

There are a few notations for insanely large numbers. The Knuth up arrow operator is one:
Move the top and bottom lines from the zero, to surround the left two lines of the zero:
5 ↑ 18
Trouble is you need (at least) two of those arrows, or a superscripted exponent, to get really huge numbers. Not easy by moving two lines. So we try something else.....
Alternative solution: move the left two lines of the zero inward at a diagonal to get this:
5 Σ 18
I defy anyone to compute Σ 18, the value of the Busy Beaver function for an input of 18 ..... let alone 5 x that value. Hint: start at "inconceivably vast" and then scale up an inconceivable number of times, or something like that.

Without adding extra digits and keeping with the digital-like format,
938
You can do this by
Removing the two matches on the left side of the zero and turning on horizontal to make the 0 a 3, and the other match to the top right of the 5 to turn it into a 9.

I'm going to guess either
999 as that removes the possibility of any operators/exponents/etc.
OR
80E which converts to 100000001110 as binary
