Dificult, yes. With 17 bits, the most complex type could be 
encoded as:

1 bit: stressed, unstressed
1 bit: voiced onset, unvoiced onset
2 bits: -, c/j, s/z
3 bits: -, p/b, k/g, t/d, f/v, x, m, n
2 bits: -, l, r
4 bits: a, e, i, o, u, ai, au, ei, oi, y 
4 bits: -, c/j, s/z, p/b, k/g, t/d, f/v, x, m, n, l, r

(the voicedness of the coda is determined by the
voiceness of the following syllable, not by that of the onset,
obviously.)

Then the other types of syllables, which are simpler, can 
be encoded in the holes left by this scheme. But 16 bits...
it seems hard.
