The correct usage should be something like the following.

  procd_set_param command "foo" "-a" "200:4:16:0" "-o" "hw:0,0"

AFAIK, procd will not try any shell-like command line parsing.  I
tried the following script

  . /lib/functions/procd.sh
  service_triggers() { true; }
  procd_open_service foo foo
  procd_open_instance bar
  procd_set_param command 'baz -a 200:4:16:0 -o hw:0,0'
  procd_close_instance
  procd_close_service

  ubus call service list  | jsonfilter -e '$["foo"]'

And the result seems expected.

  root at OpenWrt:/# ubus call service list  | jsonfilter -e '$["foo"]'
  { "instances": { "bar": { "running": false, "command": [ "baz -a
200:4:16:0 -o hw:0,0" ] } } }
