Sorry to say this but I have no idea and I do not know if anyone else associated with the project does since Ryan was compelled to discontinue work on the api. Your best chance of finding an answer to your question would be to read through the Word file format specification and see how the values in this field link to or relate to other information stored in the file. The file format document can be found on this site; http://www.wotsit.org/ but I will warn you that it is not a light read. Neither is it, in my opinion, 100% accurate or complete; for example, I have been looking at the source for another Word binary file parser and found that there is more than one parser required. This tool checks the FIB number and returns one of five - I think it's five but do not have the source on hand to check currently - different parsers depending upon the value this field is set to. The differences between the different file types is not highlighted in Microsoft's document if I remember correctly.
Finally, if you do intend to conduct this sort of work, could I ask that you contribute any improvements you make to the project? HWPF is very much in need of development and it would be wonderful if you would consider taking on some of this burden. If you are willing to consider this, please visit this page of the POI website; http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html.
