We could use the "I" (capital letter eye) length modifier under VC7.1.
 That's good for both size_t and ptrdiff_t formats under VC7.1, where
ptrdiff_t under VC7.1 is really the same concept as Py_ssize_t.  On
32-bit boxes, "I" means 4 bytes, and on 64-bit boxes "I" means 8
bytes.

Assuming that's a lowercase letter el (I really can't see any
difference between upper-eye and lower-el in gmail's font), I think
that would be fine.
