The number of digits you get in that message is being controlled by a
hard-coded format string on line 1171 or line 1200 of fit.c in the
(commit a5562b) Gnuplot source code.  But one thing you could do is,
straight after the fit is completed, issue the command "print Offset",
which will provide a greater number of digits (controlled by a
different hard-coded format string, on line 1576 of util.c).

_However_: think carefully about whether printing any more digits is
useful, given that there will be some standard error in the inferred
value of the parameter.
