I understand that you want a way to obtain a string representation of
a number in binary. I think you need to dispatch on class:
(Integer/toBinaryString (int 5)) ; => "101"
(Integer/toBinaryString (Integer. 5)) => "101"
(Long/toBinaryString (long 5)) ; => "101"
(Long/toBinaryString (Long. (long 5))) ; => "101"
(.toString (bigint 5) 2) ; the "2" indicates the radix; => "101"
(.toString (BigInteger. "5") 2) ; => "101"
As far as I can tell, you can't use the int/long method with bigints
or the other way around.
If you'd like to add the "2r" in front, just use str:
(str "2r" "101") ; => "2r101"

I'd prefer to have bit-concat operate on actual numbers, not on
strings; you can convert the result later. To that end, here's a
possible solution (I'm *sure* there must be a better way... but it
works):
(let [ls (zipmap (map #(loop [n % r 1]
(if (zero? n)
r
(recur (dec n) (* 2 r))))
(range 0 128))
(map inc (range 0 128)))]
(defn bit-length [n]
(if (zero? n)
0
(condp = (class n)
Integer (ls (Integer/highestOneBit n))
Long (ls (Long/highestOneBit n))
BigInteger (.bitLength n)))))
(comment
; this returns true
(every? #(== (bit-length %) (.bitLength %))
(map bigint (range 0 1000))))
(defn bit-concat [n m]
(bit-or (bit-shift-left n (bit-length m))
m))
This will work as expected unless you use unboxed ints:

java.math.BigInteger
