If you do not need every fixture to be controlled seperately you can assigne the same DMX address to multiple fixtures.
This means, your first par gets the start address 1, the second gets start address 6, the third gets 11, the fourth gets 16. Then the fifth gets address 1 again and so on. In your case of course I would use all 12 channels in DMX400 not only 4
You will then have always 2 par lightning up at the same time then. If you split them up (for example one to the right and one to the left side) you can use all your 24 par with DMX400.

And if you don't want to do that ^^, just consider to dump the DMX400 control as that unit is only build in to get small par setups to work quick and dirty.
Try using the real thing: sequence editor, cue's and/or submasters - you'll not be limited in number of fixtures there.

This is what I would recommend too. Just forgot to write in my first post.
