Hi Travis!
I guess I will still have to pad my data to full bytes before reading it, correct?

This kind of bit-manipulation must be done using bit operations on
standard size data types even in C. The file reading and writing
libraries use bytes as their common denominator.
I would read in the entire image into a numpy array of unsigned bytes
and then use slicing, masking, and bit-shifting to take 5 bytes at a
time and convert them to 4 values of a 16-bit unsigned image.
Basically, you would do something like
# read in entire image into 1-d unsigned byte array
# create 16-bit array of the correct 2-D size
# use flat indexing to store into the new array
# new.flat[::4] = old[::5] + bitwise_or(old[1::5], MASK1b) << SHIFT1b
# new.flat[1::4] = bitwise_or(old[1::5], MASK2a) << SHIFT2a
+ bitwise_or(old[2::5], MASK2b) << SHIFT2b
# etc.
The exact MASKS and shifts to use is left as an exercise for the
reader :-)
