Seems battle palettes, as far as in battle goes, shouldn't be hard to expand at all, however...
It seems in the area of C3/6E71 is where it loads the palettes for the save/load game screen. Looks like it starts loading from one or two palettes before the normal battle palette 00, then does a CMP 1400.
Seems to me its loading every single palette that may or may not be used during the save screen, then going from there. In other words, getting more battle palettes to load in battle shouldn't be any trouble, but rewriting the save screen (and possibly shops/character select) load palette process would be required as well. This is based off just a little bit of debugging though so, would be nice if I was wrong.
Course may I am wrong to an extent. Still C3/6E71 should be loading hand graphics, yet continues loading palette data to ED/6300 and beyond. Now looking ahead at the next routine run, C3/6CC7, where it should be loading battle palettes (and does use this during battle) it does a CPX #C0 which...
Beats the hell out of me. That's all I can say. Still don't fully grasp that C3/6E71, but now I've got the thing loading palettes from the great beyond like it should be. Least the menu and shop reads them. An hour ago I was loading save games with the white ghost group, now it works. Sometimes it would be nice to know wtf I'm doing. Either way, expanded battle palettes may actually work.

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.
