You do not need more that 7 digits after decimal point. Event 5 or 6 digits will be sufficient.

7 digit is about 1 cm (centimeter) at the equator.
For a list of coordinate precision related to number of digits after decimal point, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_degrees

And no it is not possible to get sensefull 14 digits after decimal point. The source of the coordinate will not have much more accuracy than 5 digits (e.g GPS) (5 digits relate to 1,1 meters)
