En primer lugar, supongo que querías decir "sesenta y ocho con trescientos treinta y tres mil trescientos treinta y tres", o "sesenta y ocho coma trescientos treinta y tres mil trescientos treinta y tres".
En cifras, este número se escribe igual que en español, salvo que se emplea un punto en lugar de una coma como separador de decimales (al igual que en español, no se emplea ningún separador de miles en los propios decimales).
Pero supongo que lo que quieres saber en cómo se pronuncia este número en inglés.
Hay dos posibilidades:
"sixty-eight and three hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three millionths" (normal en Estados Unidos)
"sixty-eight point three three three three three three" (normal en el Reino Unido).
"Numbers with a decimal point may be read as a cardinal number, then "and", then another cardinal number followed by an indication of the significance of the second cardinal number (not common in British English); or as a cardinal number, followed by "point", and then by the digits of the fractional part. The indication of significance takes the form of the denominator of the fraction indicating division by the smallest power of ten larger than the second cardinal. This is modified when the first cardinal is zero, in which case neither the zero nor the "and" is pronounced, but the zero is optional in the "point" form of the fraction.
* For example:
0.002 is "two thousandths" (mainly U.S.); or "point zero zero two", "point oh oh two", "nought point zero zero two", etc.
3.1416 is "three point one four one six"
99.3 is "ninety-nine and three tenths" (mainly U.S.); or "ninety-nine point three".

" It's four-point-three-three-three-three-three-three [...]
I got 4.333333"

Y "point three recurring"? Estrictamente, no es lo mismo. Aquí tenemos un número con seis decimales, pero "recurring" quiere decir "periódico puro", o sea, que el 3 (en este caso) se repite hasta el infinito. Este número se escribiría (en inglés) 68.333333..., que es un poquito más de 68.333333.

Note from asker:
We were having this discusion because I was translating a legal document and the number appeared written in words and numbers. I thought I should keep that format. |
Sorry! I wanted to answer the question in the peer agreement, but it seems I can't! Thanks for your help! |

sixty-eight point three three three three three three
In maths, you just say the numbers after the decimal point one after the other, e.g. 1.0373 is one point oh three seven three
It may indeed be a recurring decimal, but that is not 100% clear
