This mostly works, but occasionally displays x or x * 100,
I'm assuming the intermediate calculations are actually

I can work around it by doing:

b = x * 100 + y;
a = b;

but I was wondering if there's any other way to either force NQC to use
temporary space for calculations, or force the display routine to block until
the calculations are complete?

In C you would declare a as volatile.

  Blocking SetUserDisplay?
 
I have a program with a setup routine for calibrating light sensors. During the setup routine, it does: SetUserDisplay (a, 2); Then in a loop, reads the values of 2 light sensors into x & y, averages the readings and then does: a = x * 100 + y; to (...)
