I agree it would be clearer if split up.

Without having studied it closely, it might also highlight a bug on failure of the second clause -- if the _setmode fails, shouldn't _close be called instead of CloseHandle, and -1 returned?  (CloseHandle would still be called on failure of the _open_osfhandle, obviously)
