A very interesting project/twist on the old problem of Poly-800 not having any sysex capability.

A shall have a look at the EX-800 sysex dump format again and see if I can help with those unknown bytes.

Yes.

So far I have a C program that reads a .wav file and decodes the data. If I can get an idea of what the remaining bytes are, I will then be able to write a routine to generate a .wav file.

For the dumps, I would still use Audacity to record the info, but then I could manipulate the data on the PC to create new patch files.
