They wrote up a esign doc at the URL below. The gist of it is that they chose a fixed size and error correction level, then unrolled the whole encoding process into a finite circuit, and implemented RS encoding as a linear transformation over GF(2). In effect this is similar to what you'd do in digital circuit design, or mapping an algorithm to a secure multiparty computatoin implementation.
