> 5147 would be 五千一百四十七
"Five thousand one hundred four tens seven". So each order of magnitude is explicitly labeled. Where's the positional part?

That is the positional part. If you were to rearrange it, you'd get something invalid. 二十三百 isn't a number at all.
Recall that the use of zero is necessitated by using positional notation, and that is what we see here: you must explicitly zero any magnitudes you're not using. (At least, any that are below one you are using.)
I should also note that while there is no symbol for the number 10,000 - there is a place value, but the number is 一万, not 万 - the number 10 is still written 十.
