Here's a quick Python version:
>>> import struct
>>> def unpackStr(data):
... result = []
... n, = struct.unpack(">H", data[:2])
... data = data[2:]
... for i in range(n):
... l = ord(data[0])
... result.append(data[1:1+l])
... data = data[1+l:]
... return result
...
>>> data = "\000\005\004abcd\000\002xy\01012345678\001z"
>>> unpackStr(data)
['abcd', '', 'xy', '12345678', 'z']
>>>
