Very clever solution. Actually with some additional cleverness it would work for a period longer than 24 hours, right?
The trick would be to add instead the STCK value for midnight on the morning of December 31. Then, for example, a period of 2 days, 5 hours, 31 minutes, ... would be formatted as 19720102 0531... and you could just discard the 197201. This would work for a period of up to 31 days, 23 hours and 59+ minutes.
