Here's one way. I don't have Apache OpenOffice so I can't test it, but I tested it with LibreOffice and I think it would work in Apache OpenOffice too:
=VALUE(BASE(42;2))
Now format the cell like the following:
[...]
0000" "0000

Note that if omitting the quotes, typing 0000 0000 in that field will fail, (the cell will display 00 101 010). I'm not sure why though. As I said, I tested this in LibreOffice, hopefully it will work in Apache OpenOffice too.

For what it's worth, the version without quotes works too in my OpenOffice.

And the cell formula looks like this:
=TEXT(VALUE(BASE(42;2));"0000"" ""0000")

Again,
=TEXT(VALUE(BASE(42;2));"0000 0000")
works in my OpenOffice.
