Section 3.1 says:
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|10001000|00000010| Stream ID |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
Type=136 Length=4
It should say:
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|10001000|00000100| Stream ID |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
Type=136 Length=4
Rationale:
This number count the length which is 4 and not 2.
10 in binary is 2 in decimal, 100 in binary is 4 in decimal.
The option-length octet counts the option-type octet and the
option-length octet as well as the option-data octets.(see page 15)
The length is 4 for the Stream identifier option as we have 4 bytes and
it is well written in page 16 of RFC 791:
The following internet options are defined:
CLASS NUMBER LENGTH DESCRIPTION
----- ------ ------ -----------
0 0 - End of Option list. This option occupies only
1 octet; it has no length octet.
0 1 - No Operation. This option occupies only 1
octet; it has no length octet.
0 2 11 Security. Used to carry Security,
Compartmentation, User Group (TCC), and
Handling Restriction Codes compatible with DOD
requirements.
0 3 var. Loose Source Routing. Used to route the
internet datagram based on information
supplied by the source.
0 9 var. Strict Source Routing. Used to route the
internet datagram based on information
supplied by the source.
0 7 var. Record Route. Used to trace the route an
internet datagram takes.
0 8 4 Stream ID. Used to carry the stream
identifier.
2 4 var. Internet Timestamp.

internet fragment. That is, the length of a portion of data
measured in 8 octet units.

measured in 8-octet units.
Notes:
Extra article 'a' before the term 'data portion of an internet fragment'.
