Indeed.  From the schematics it looks like the Poly-800 is using a 
(sparse) 3x8 matrix, so depending on how this 2x8 is organized you 
may have to do some cutting and re-connecting.  It looks like this is 
a foil keypad Atom found, it can be quite difficult to get at the 
connections on those and you can certainly not re-arrange any 
keycaps...

Since the EX-800 is normally missing three buttons (Key Assign, Chord 
Memory, Hold), are they still in the EX-800 firmware or not?  The Key 
Assign probably wouldn't do anything useful or rather should be 
controlled via MIDI, but the Chord Memory and Hold might be useful to 
bring out (to a footpedal even?) on the EX-800.
