Good point.
Actually the ??”? on ???’ ??????? (?? ?.’ ?”? ???? ?????? says that 600k is not exact, it should be more.

??’?: ????? ???? ??”? ???? ???? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ?????:
????? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ????? ???”? ????? ???”?

See ??? ????? on Shabbos daf 6 and beis meyer. Also ?????? ???? explaining why only was ???? ??? a rsh”R and not all ???? ????? as that was the only place with 600k.

Also, that this shitah is quoted by the ??”? – see ??? ????? end of ch 26.
