Asking the impossible. Material files cannot describe changes to existing nodes. They describe the whole material - all nodes, all parameters. There are no partial shaders.
However, a Python script could do it.
And there are some scripts that help create material changing scripts.
I have never used this one but it is free and it makes partial shaders of some kind.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
