pgPool-II does that computation. You should check that in its source
code. File pool_worker_child.c, function check_replication_time_lag().
It creates a long value from the LSN returned by these functions. Here
is the computation:

  lsn = xlogid * 16 * 1024 * 1024 * 255 + xrecoff;

In your example, xlogid is 37A and xrecoff is 327D1888 on the slave and
3280DCB8 on the master. The hexadecimal values were first converted to
their unsigned decimal integer representation (same file, function
text_to_lsn()).

You should really get a look at this file. It's probably a better
explanation than what I'm trying to do :)
