BitField can handle up to 8 bytes (64 bits) but cannot handle 9 bytes (72 bits)

The reason is obvious, in the BitField code there is only a dictionary for up to 8 bytes, no more
self.number_bits = number_bits
self.number_bytes = number_bits // 8
self.bytes_required = self.number_bytes
if field is None:
field = {
1: UBInt8,
2: UBInt16,
3: UBInt24,
4: UBInt32,
5: UBInt40,
6: UBInt48,
7: UBInt56,
8: UBInt64,
}[self.number_bytes]()
number_bytes only has a corresponding key up to 8 bytes.
Probably can fix this using a FieldArray?
