It looks like choosing 50 for my max Power Bombs may be the problem as that value occurs more than a few times too. But I'm looking into things a bit more and may have more to help you in a bit.
Edit: So here's what I'm finding. This is the block of data that seems to govern the inventory. As you already know it can move about within the save file.

It seems you've got:
[4 byte ID] [0x66] [Quantity (32-bit float)]
As far as my save files go The IDs are consistent, as is their order in the file.
I've identified the following so far, does this track with your saves?
Code:
FULL ID LIST (numbers for unknowns are the quantities in my most recent save)
09 E5 0E EE - ??[50]
55 F1 D6 B6 - Missiles Max
FE 98 15 19 - ??[50]
70 83 38 90 - Health Max
E9 87 77 35 - Power Bombs Max
CB A0 FF DF - Super Missiles Max
77 56 1E 39 - ??[1]
9B D1 2C 5A - Aeion Energy Max
73 3C 15 CE - Health Current
42 CE D4 2A - Missiles Current
45 5A 1D 6A - Super Missiles Current
B0 74 A1 EE - Power Bombs Current
63 4D C5 41 - ??[1]
20 04 62 96 - ??[1]

E6 E8 EC B4 - That "power up" you get right at the end of the game.
I also not that there are 19 unknown IDs with a quantity of 1. I made a list of power ups, there are also 19.
Code:
Power Beam
Charge Beam
Ice Beam
Wave Beam
Grapple Beam
Spazer Beam
Plasma Beam
Missiles
Super Missiles
Bomb
Power Bomb
Varia Suit
Gravity Suit
Morph Ball
Spider Ball
Spring Ball
High Jump
Space Jump
Screw Attack
I'm right at the end of the game now my it might be interesting to track whether those IDs and power ups do match up one to one.
If this is the same in your saves, you should be able to do away with needing to enter the existing values.
(Also, how/where was the play time stored in the file?)
