No, see microsoft documentation. They're expected to be a 4-bit signed
binary complement value that indicates the amount of movement.

PS/2 A4-Tech mouse do the ugly trick you describe above to stuff two
wheel information into a single-wheel oriented ImExPS/2 protocol. USB
A4-Tech mouse do another ugly trick (additional button which specifies
which wheel is rotating). I'm not interested in supporting these ugly
tricks.
If you want to support the H-Wheel in GPM, then please add
/dev/input/event support into GPM. (simple patch attached, you may need
to do more changes, namely for h-wheel).
