Using "open" I can see the lease "starts" and "ends" in some representation of hex (explanation anyone?), but for whatever reason I am unable to modify the lease - am I doing something wrong? I'd very much not to stop/edit/start dhcpd, but so far it's all that works. I've set an omapi key and use it before I "connect".

You need a "recent" dhcpd to do that. I wrote a patch some time ago, but
i don't remember when it appeared in a release.

You may find the patch here:
