Description
Similar to #62, except with EAX. I would like to be able to interoperate with an existing protocol that uses 32-bit nonces. Presumably this could be implemented similarly to #126, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to do it easily.

Research direction
Start by reading the EAX implementation and compare the approaches discussed in issues #62 and #126. Confirm how 32-bit nonces should interoperate with the existing protocol, then add coverage demonstrating variable-length nonce support and run the relevant EAX tests.
