Bignum data-blocks have the following format:
-------------------------------------------------------
| Length (24 bits) | Bignum Type (8 bits) |
-------------------------------------------------------
| least significant bits |
-------------------------------------------------------
.

.
The elements contain the two’s complement representation of the integer with the least significant bits in the first element or closer to the header. The sign information is in the high end of the last element.
