If there is a maximum of 16 hex numbers per line in both formats, I'd be
inclined to have the lexer keep track of how many hex numbers it's seen,
and treat only the first 16 on a line as data, and treat all the rest as
part of a character display.

text2pcap had the same problem, which I fixed recently.
