From page 65 - Parameter Change
$F0 $42 $3MidiChannel $03 $41 $Parameter Offset (the address of what you want to change) $New Value $F7
So to program the encoder on the bottom letft, the BCR should be programmed (with the DW-8000 on channel 2, for example)

$encoder 49 #Osc 1 Waveform - DW on channel 2
.minmax 0 16
.tx $F0 $42 $31 $03 $41 $02 val $F7

This should work
(You can use # or // to add comments in my editor and then print out a list to show what each button and encoder does)

The BCR can have a MIDI message or a few MIDI messages that are, in total, 123 bytes or less.
This is OK for sysex parameter change. Anything bigger would really slow things down.
You wouldn't send sysex data for a whole a patch and that is where the sysex messages get big.
As you can see your message only took 8 bytes so you could nearly have 16 message on the one encoder so you didn't have to remember what channel the DW-800 was on :^)
$encoder 49 #Osc 1 Waveform - DW on channel 2 and channel 3 (0 is channel 1)
.minmax 0 16
.tx $F0 $42 $31 $03 $41 $02 val $F7 $F0 $42 $32 $03 $41 $02 val $F7


Hope this helps
