The 50 moves rule plays no role. In ICCF correspondence play the 50-moves rule is never invoked. 7-men endgame table base win claims that exceed the 50 moves are allowed, but never happen.
The games end in draws long before, by the 3-fold repetition rule, or reaching a 7-men endgame table base draw, or a known draw position.

++ There are no floating point operations in a chess game, only arithmetic on integers and boolean logic operations.
