RFC 7839, "Access-Network-Identifier Option in DHCP", June 2016

Section 4.4.1 says:

   Length
      4

   Operator-Identifier
      The Operator-Identifier is a variable-length Private Enterprise
      Number (PEN) ...

It should say:

   Length
      4

   Operator-Identifier
      The Operator-Identifier is a 32-bit Private Enterprise
      Number (PEN) ...

Notes:

Either the length is 4, and the contents are 32-bits. Or the length is >1, and the length is variable.

My guess is that the intention is to have a fixed length. The variable-length encoding from RFC 6757 is likely not needed here.
