If that's the only 'break' in the loop, then you know that 'chunk' will 
have an 'empty' value after the loop, so you can change it to:

while True:
     chunk = self.raw.read()
     if chunk in empty_values:
         break
     ...
nodata_val = chunk

which then leads to:

while (chunk := self.raw.read()) not in empty_values:
     ...
nodata_val = chunk
