Well, that probably should be fixed to allow an array of things, and not a single thing, where the things are then concatenated on the wire.

But until then:  
Put the offset:

-- in the URI: 
   PATCH /foo?at=0020 HTTP/1.1
-- in the Content-Type: 
   Content-Type: application/byteslice; at=0020

I'm not sure any other header is likely to survive today's world of middleboxes.
