The numbers 0.1 and 1.3e12 are both stored in floating point data type. The double type is the default for storing either of these in Matlab. So the answer is Yes you can store them in the same matrix.
What you are actually referring to is the way the numbers are formatted for viewing. Please have a look at the documentation for format
