I have around 4000 buffers that need to be drawn, and I change my shader uniform 'translation' value before each drawing. Should I just store the entire translation+position in the vertex position instead to avoid changing that uniform rapidly? (it would require a larger position datatype to hold the range)

You can store the positions in a GL_RGBA32F texture.
Send a texcoord value (1 dimentionsal) to read the GL_RGBA32F texture from your vertex shader.

an open source GLU replacement library. Much more modern than GLU.
float matrix[16], inverse_matrix[16];
glhLoadIdentityf2(matrix);
glhTranslatef2(matrix, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0);
glhRotateAboutXf2(matrix, angleInRadians);
glhScalef2(matrix, 1.0, 1.0, -1.0);
glhQuickInvertMatrixf2(matrix, inverse_matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation1, 1, FALSE, matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation2, 1, FALSE, inverse_matrix);
