No. You'll get the message exactly as it’s written: F0 78 54 88 65 29 04 71 00 
00 02 F7.

Sysex always starts with the F0 status byte, and ends with an F7 byte. It’s not 
a 3-byte message. It can be any length. (This is why all cheap MIDI interfaces 
choke on sysex, because their buffers aren’t built to handle anything other 
than the shorter MIDI messages.) All you have to do is listen for the F0 status 
byte, then collect bytes until you get F0, then go back to listening for any 
message.
