Feh, actually that only works for rot8, since you need 2*size+1 bits available 
for this.  Why not just use shifts.  Something like

   int shl = shift % 17;
   int shr = shl ^ (size - 1);
   int shx = shl ? shl - 1 : 16;

   res32 = (data << shl) | (data >> shr) | (x << shx);
   x = (res32 >> 16) & 1;
