To join arbitary sized integers, this might be what you're after ...

  -- Convert to strings and concatenate them
  combined = sprintf("%d", x) & sprintf("%d", y)
  -- Convert the combined string into an integer
  combined = value(combined)
  -- Extract the resulting integer and place it in a sequence
  combined = {integer(combined[2])} -- this might fail if result is too big

  -- Thus x=12 and y=9876 gives {129876}
