You want your file considered as a sequence of bits rather

Yes.

is the 10-bit bit-pattern to be stored at an arbitrary bit-position in

Yes.  I need arbitrary, 8bits, than 10 bits for something else, than
sequence of bytes, than 10 bits again, etc.

You should know there is no single "natural" mapping of files to bit
orders; rather there are several distinct natural such orders.  Define
the mapping you prefer and implement it.  This is even worse than the
"byte sex" issue (go ahead, look it up).
