Thanks Roger,
Updated the webrev based on thebelow suggested changes and some clean up.

Changed concatenation with toString() and added a rounding parameter,
but not getting the benefit of having two methods and returning
respective concrete type using constructors.
I didn't get the point of having two methods. Can you please elaborate?

OK.

It is to specify that the minus sign is a special character, which needs
to be replaced with its localized equivalent at the time of formatting.
Internally, there is a difference between a "minus sign prefix with a
single quote" and a "minus sign" (it depends on how user specify the
pattern), because the later one is considered as a literal and should be
used exactly same in the formatted output, but the one prefixed with a
single quote is replaced with its localized symbol using
DecimalFormatSymbols.getMinusSign().

Yes, it was a mistake.

I had thought about it, but it was difficult unless the whole list of
affixes are traversed, because there is always a chance to get longer
affix later in the list. I thought to sort the lists based on the length
and do the match, but in that case indexes get disordered across lists
(divisor, prefix, suffix, compact patterns), and computation will become
more complicated.
Updated the code by moving the repetitive parts in the loop to private
methods.

Yes, I think this can be done. Updated.
