Mambo rafiki! I think the same Swahili phrase can be translated as "57000" and "50007" as well. If not, I would make a report.
And perhaps, an option to avoid confusion is to place the word for "thousand" after the multiplier number, instead of before. Then:
57000 = Hamsini na saba elfu / multiplier number = 57 (hamsini na saba)
50007 = Hamsini elfu na saba / multiplier number = 50 (hamsini)
And combining the two numbers, there would be two forms for the number 57007:
57007 = Elfu hamsini na saba na saba
57007 = Hamsini na saba elfu na saba
Here is a good page to test the numbers (written in digits) for the Swahili translation:

I hope it helps. :)
