without knowing what mote you are using no one can answer you.

for the MSP430 MCU (telos, and others): it supports a "long long"
datatype (64 bits) uint64_t should be already defined .. floats are 32
bits.

for other MCUs I have no idea.

your question is not about tinyos (it uses whatever datatypes are
available) but rather about the hardware platform you are using.
