A question related to SrI vishNu sahasra nAmam.

Dear Bhagavata-s:

I am just completing the write-up for the 700th nAma of SrI vishNu sahasra nAmam, and have a question, on which I would like your advice.  I notice that both SrI Samkara and SrI BhaTTar conclude the vyAkhyAnam for each 100 nAma-s with a statement such as "Thus ends the seventh hundred names" - for example, 

"iti SrI harita kula tilaka SrIvatsA'nka miSra sUnoh SrIra'ngarAja divyA`jnA labdha SrI parASara bhaTTa apara nAmadeyasya SrI ra'nganAthasya kRtau SrImad vishNu sahasra nAma vivaraNe bhagavadguNa darpaNe saptamam Satakam samAptam".

I would like to know the significance for this statement at the conclusion of each of the "hundred nAma-s".  I know this is similar to the decads of the AzhvArs.  Have our pUrvAcArya-s given us any interpretation for the importance/significance of this?
