Yes, if there are fewer tiers of hubs, the unused nibbles will be zero.

Correct, the padding is only added if frameLength isn’t a multiple of 4.  This 
should be considered the final version.  The timestamps are in Mach Absolute 
Time Units (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1398/_index.html
