Well, if a Smoot is about 5 feet 7 inches (or 1.7 meters), then you have a discrepancy of 22.2 (sig figs included) Smoots. That is, if the 342.242026 number is a length in Smoots. That's a difference of 37.7 meters, or 123 feet. Not quite an ear, unless we have an unclear definition of 'ear.'

But if there was some standardized metric form of Smoots, maybe we could come in closer.
