The wcsmw library has all the "configuration" functionality and formats.

However, keep in mind this is a very very complex endeavor you are
considering.  It will require a very good knowledge of how the
system is designed.  For example, lets say you move areas 1-100 to
201-300.   You will need to make sure that all "references" to
security access and selected areas for users are changed as well
and those two are off the top of my head.   Oh, another would be
that you would have to scan ALL the messages and change the Conference
number in the TMSGHEADER.Conference field.  Same with File areas.  Since
there are Database Indexs based on area numbers, this would be a rather
extensive database reorganization.

Because of the latter, this would be a NON-SDK operation coupled with
a NON-SDK WCREPAIR like operation where you would "re-index" the databases.

Not a easy design.  But if you are up to the challenge, we will assist
in providing as much technical info we can.
