That is very easy to do from script as well.
See script in my tree.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kasatkin/linux-digsig.git;a=blob;f=scripts/modsig.sh;h=4e997c3996d71d8e1afeb3a7afe23b3f303b9f63;hb=59f1d5352969166f2f32f84e07e20dd1b30a890f

110 # add signature length - big endian
111 dec2hex $(stat --printf %s $sigfile) 4 | hex2bin $sigfile
112 echo -n "This Is A Crypto Signed Module" >>$sigfile

well. I have couple of small functions in the script. dec2hex and hex2bin
