It would depend the application you're controlling.  In your example,
yes you could use the top 8 buttons to select different Mobius MIDI
configurations that remap the grid buttons to do different things.

But you're limited to functions and scripts.  If you wanted to 
change a continuous control like Output Level, you would have to 
write a script that set the level based on the note number
then make 8 bindings for this script to a column of pads.

You would also not get any pretty colors.  The pads would all
stay a dull lifeless grey, leading eventually to depression 
and despair.
