This will only work if all your data files are a multiple of 4-bytes.
Otherwise, the beginning of some files will not be long-aligned.

If you have file A which is 3 bytes and file B is 2 bytes, doing the
copy will produce a file 5 bytes long.  However, there needs to be a 1
byte pad after A in order to force B to start on a long boundary.
