Default Primes by Concatenation

Just for fun:

(1) How large a prime can be constructed by concatenating distinct,
known Mersenne prime exponents in some order?
(Since it appears M45* is on its way -- (congrats!!) -- this problem
might be considered to be in temporary limbo.)

(2) What are the largest and smallest primes that can be constructed
by concatenating the integers 1 thru 100 in some order?

(3) Suppose I have 5 different 5-digit primes. How many primes could
I expect to produce by concatenating these in different orders?
