I'm not seeing any trailing zeros if that is in little endian, you start little end first and it isn't limited to a silly 8-bits, it can be used to represent numbers far larger than 255 if continued (though then it wouldn't be representative of a byte and half the joke would be lost).

If you read from the right (as is implied by calling the result 17), there are 3 trailing zeroes:  These would usually be omitted when writing like this. The fact they are not makes this 136
