How are these clips organised in SONAR?
Are they all arranged on separate tracks? If so, you should be able to group them (ctrl + a) and drag the leading edge to the left to get your 500ms and ditto drag the trailing edge out to the right by the same amount.
This will be easier if a) you've got the time ruler to display hh:mm:ss and the "word" on your first clip is on a measure boundary.
