Is there any way for me to enter more than two decimal places manually via the GUI?

No. The float field GUI widgets are limited to 2 decimal places. You can probably get around this using the Action Chains plugin instead of the built-in GUI widgets to present an edit widget then store the result in the database.

The formatter does what @theducks says. For example, this template
Code:
{:>13.3f:'300/2.1'}
produces 142.857.

You are mixing things. The format template is used when displaying the number. The 2-decimal-digit format is used in edit widgets. See the attachments.
