Unless I'm mistaken:

    size_t len;
    unsigned char *data;
    ASN1_OCTET_STRING *skid;

    skid = X509_get_ext_d2i(subject, NID_subject_key_identifier, NULL, NULL);
    len = ASN1_STRING_length(skid);
    data = ASN1_STRING_data(skid);

    ... Take unspeakable liberties with "data" and "len" ...

    ASN1_OCTET_STRING_free(skid);
