How about "data[a] = (temp32 >> ((a % 4) * 8)) & 0xff" instead? That is clearer IMHO, and you won't even need to break the line. (80 columns really *is* enough :-P)

As mentioned on IRC, the caller tends to pass in a "len" value > 255, e.g. 1 block of 4096 bytes or more. Since len is handled as an int in the caller, it should probably get passed in as an int here.
