The hex hack can work in decimal too.  Even more of a hack, 
but it will extend your range significantly.
if(sector < 1000000000)
  printf("Sector %d\n", sector);
else
  printf("Sector %d%09d\n", (unsigned int)(sector / 
1000000000), (unsigned int)(sector % 1000000000));
Testing is an exercize left to the reader ;-)
Except that this will increase the memory footprint, because of
inclusion of 64bit math.
(about the same amount or more than fixing vsprintf)
What do you think your "fix" to vsprintf will do?
Forget it. I will not add "long long" support  to  printf  without  a
really good reason.
