I haven't got a musical hair on my head and I know very little about OctaMed, but my daughter has the v5 manual. Here's what it says about those five digits after the note.
The first digit is the Instrument Number, which I guess you know. The next numbers are in pairs and are hexadecimal. They are called 'Player Commands'. The first pair is the 'Command Type' and the last pair is the 'Command Level'.
The first digit in the Command Level pair is called 'Level 1'. The second digit is 'Level 2'. When entering commands, you can set the Level 1 to '1' by holding down the Alt key while entering the Level 2 value in the Level 2 field.
Player commands can be split into 'Normal' commands and 'Midi' commands.
Here's a list of Command Types and their Command Level 1 and 2 effects:
00 Arpeggio 1 First Pitch 2 Second Pitch
01 Pitch Up Slide speed
02 Pitch Down Slide speed

For MIDI use, some of the above commands have different effects:

Hope this means something!
