One way to place the declarations is in a common package.

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

package Big_Stuff is
   type BigInt is range 1..10_000_000_000_000;

   -- ... BigInt subprograms

   package BigInt_IO is new integer_IO(BigInt);
end Big_Stuff;

A main unit can then with package Big_Stuff (and "use"
it); the procedure bodies in Big_Stuff's body will see
BigInt_IO, too.
