Edit: I discovered something through tinkering - while these offsets store the quantity of the given items, it seems there's another byte that tells the game whether or not you've unlocked the item. I had a save backup from before I got any Grand Green Star Coins, and tried setting 99 of them - what happened was that I DID get 99 of them, but it took the place of the regular Green Star Coin, which I also should have had 99 of.

I don't really have a way of finding the additional bytes, as too much has changed between my old backup and my new one, unless somebody else wants to look into it.

But my recommendation is that you wait until you get at least one of an item "legally" (you can get the Grand items before beating Bowser, you just have to get some really large chains - I got a Grand Comet Medal by getting a chain of 15 or so I believe) and THEN modify your quantities to have more of them.
