Any microcontroller can handle numbers wider than the bus width of the micro (16 bits in the case of the msp430). It simply requires use of features such as the Carry bit in the Status register.
A C-language compiler for the MSP430 will produce code to allow for processing of numbers larger than 16 bits. Use data type "Long" for a 32-bit integer.
