sure

well, it's saved by iterating all the races, including minors, for each category of information to save, so it's in fact stored relative.

In vanilla the romulans have the race ID "04", so that may be the raceID to search for.
I've just had a look to a savegame of bop and it seems to be a little different. I may have overseen something for vanilla as well.
Easiest would be to have a fresh vanilla turn 1 game on tech1, small map, cause that's what I've mainly used to figure the stuff.
Anyway, set your view to a line length of 108 (6C in hex) and you should see the regulary of the main iteration loop of that file.
In vanilla romulan should have "04" as raceID and the main iteration loop always begins with the raceID, so with view set to 108 (6C in hex), all raceIDs should be shown above each other, beginning with "00", the cardassian raceID. With knowing line and position of the raceID, you can easily use the following to figure the offset to edit:
[for number of races:
Offset length 0x0002 = raceID
Offset length 0x0002 = unknown
Offset length 0x0002 = science level biotec
Offset length 0x0002 = unknown

Offset length 0x000B = buildable special buildings (bitwise XOR, same order as in stbof.res and UE, but little endian: mirrored 8bit blocks)
Offset length 0x001D = buildable normal buildings / upgrades (bitwise XOR, same order as in stbof.res and UE, but little endian: mirrored 8bit blocks)
Offset length 0x0008 = unknown (always 00 ... 00 ?)

hope that helps
