I'm tempted to just convert INTEGER_TO_CONS to a pair of functions (one signed, one unsigned) that just take an {,u}intmax_t.
Sometimes one does not know whether an integer is signed. For example, the ino_t type is signed on some platforms, and not on others. This is why INTEGER_CONS is written the way it is: it is supposed to do the right thing regardless of the signedness of its argument.
