    Matthew's suggestion is denser, which is nice.

    At that point, it would be neither BE nor LE. But the "LE-like" version would be

    len = data[0];
    if (len & 128)
    len += data[1] << 7;

    which ends up having a tiny bit more range (it goes to 11^H32895).

    Of course, if the range is expected to be just 0-300, I guess that
    matters not one whit.
