I can't think of a way to do this.  The programmable knobs swing full
range no matter what.  However, you can put cc#79 messages in your
sequence (probably easiest with list edit) to change FX send selection
on the fly.  You can also do the same for arp with cc#80.  In case
you're wondering, this is also how the sequencer stores these settings
for each track...

This you *can* do.  You have to be in "use preset on channel xx" mode
however.  Some people set up an "FX preset" on an unused channel and
point a track to it (with some data so it'll save the preset
selection).  The XL-7 will then use all of that preset's FX settings
*and* FX cord routing.  Set programmable knobs to be MIDI I-P on that
channel, and hook up MIDI I -> FxASend1, MIDI J -> FxASend2, MIDI K ->
FxASend3, MIDI L -> FxASend4, MIDI M -> FxBSend1, MIDI N -> FxBSend2,
MIDI O -> FxBSend3, MIDI P -> FxBSend4.  Not only will you get initial
settings saved in the preset, but you'll also have realtime control
over all 8 Send levels.  You can copy this preset around so you don't
have to set up all those cords again...
