What are the metric prefixes for 10e4, 10e5, 10e7, 10e8 and the 
corresponding neg. values?

Thanks...

There aren't any.  It's convenient to have names for 10, 100, 1/10, 
and 1/100, but it's not worth it to have names for the sizes you've 
mentioned.  Nobody would remember them.  So I simply say 10 million 
volts or 10 megavolts, et cetera.
