White is a really easy colour to make in Illustrator.
Seriously, I see no image.

in freehand, make a star, pull the points out/scale etc, put it in a circle, voila.

I'm not an Illustrator pro so I'm sure there's going to be an easier way, and you'll have to do a bit of math first.
If you make one full red bar (for lack of a better word) and copy/paste in front then rotate the appropriate number of degrees you can tell Illustrator to repeat the adjustment over and over. Just make sure you don't make one segment, but the whole thing from top to bottom - as in pretend the circle isn't there for now.Did that make any sense at all??

If you can decifer what I'm talking about it'll take about 60 seconds, having just tried myself, but I'm sure there are dozens of valid techniques.

So the flag consists of a circle and red segments. For now ignore the circle and pretend that these segments are joined at the center (where the circle was). So now you're left with these not-quite rectangles that repeat at, oh, I don't know, 25 degree intervals.
With me so far?
So if you make just one of these not-quite rectangles you can reuse them as much as you need. Select the first, copy, paste-in-front, then transform>rotate 25*, or whatever it is. Now you've got two of these objects making a funny looking X, right?
Select the second one then hit Cmnd+C, Cmnd+F, Cmnd+D which will copy, paste in front, and repeat transformation. You should see a third one. Wash, rinse, repeat!If I'm sitll not clear give me 10 minutes and I'll post some pics.
