If I wanted to convert 169.254.0.xxx into the network address using a subnet mask for class b of 255.255.0.0, then the network portion of the address would only outcome to 16 bits right because the subnet mask is only 16 bits?
Yes.

>class b
the 80s called want their system back

What do you mean no? the Network Portion of the address would only be 169.254.0.0, which is 2 blocks of 8 bits, which is 16? Are you retarded?

Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 would mean the last two octets of the IP address represents nodes. The first two are the 'network' address.

But then theres VLSM where by it splits further down into parts of a subnet mask.
Lets take the subnet of 255.255.255.192.
With this you can have different host ranges, each having -2 to the latter final octet to represent 61 hosts per subnet. One address is broadcast, one is subnet ID.
192.168.0.0 -> 192.168.0.63
192.168.0.64 -> 192.168.0.127
192.168.0.128 -> 192.168.0.191
192.168.0.192 -> 192.168.0.255
192.168.1.0 -> 192.168.1.63
192.168.1.64 -> 192.168.1.127
192.168.1.128 -> 192.168.1.191
192.168.1.192 -> 192.168.1.255
Above, 8 subnets, all with the mask 255.255.255.192. Each supporting 62 nodes per. This is a way of managing networks and used more in industrial networking and global IP distribution, rather than your home network with you PC and your moms laptop.
Theres also virtual lans which then goes into the realm of traffic management and such. I love networking, why did I choose to be a software engineer...

Also this is bad written but goodnight /g/ents.
