this of course reduces the key space for the private key, but if you

Would it reduce security or be unsafe to simply prepend zero bytes after
calling BN_bn2bin to make it fill 128 bytes?
it's ok as ...
I've tried this and it seems to
work: BN_bin2bn on that zero-prepended buffer detects the unnecessary zeros
and returns the 127 byte BIGNUM.
... BN_bin2bn should correctly handle leading zeros in binary input
