Currently there are 12 population level breakpoints where you get increased production. The 12th is set to 200,000,000,000 (yes, 200B!) in the 1.19 Version. This particular setting is required by the game to define the "maximum" bonus. Which means the Last USEFUL setting is 10B, with a 90% bonus (IIRC).
Actually, that's not the case. The maximum bonus is 100%, which you get if you have a pop of over 9999M.
You get the bonus for modifier X if your population is between that listed for (X-1) and X. In other words, when you hit the population amount for modifier 10, you get pushed up to modifier 11, and that bonus now applies (190%).
The 200B figure is probably just a catch-all used to give it something to check if your population is 10B or higher.
