no way!
number of centuries, etc is gradually accumulated in a career. its a measure of durability an consistency. you cannot say thats better than highest individual score, unless that individual score was something un-human (ie a score 1000 on minefield, not 400* on a flat track).
that being said, i'd venture to say tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all time, simply because i like his style of play (not to mention his humility). yes, he has certainly glaring weaknesses, but the fact remains he'll prolly whatever batting record he doesn't already by the time he's puts his leg guards away for good.
