Blocks of 5, 16bit values:

Patch address (in bytes, all the $0000~$FFFF range seems to work)

First data word is (/2), byteswapped and written to address
Second data word is (/2)-1, byteswapped written to address+2
Third (optional) data word is (/2), byteswapped and written to address+4
Fourth (optional) data word is (/2)-1, byteswapped written to address+6

If third data word is 0x0000 both the third and forth patches are skipped.
