3-x-E-A-C#-(E-C#)-F#

Sorry, may I ask, what is happening within the parentheses? E.g. in 1, is it a slide from E to C#? I ask as I only just counted and realised there are 7 notes, and with only 6 guitar strings, that is the only guess which makes sense to me.

My aim is to feed these as quantised block chords into BIAB or something else which brings them to life, and I can't figure out how I'd do this based on this format

No it is not a slide. It would be a pull off or a hammer on. For example in #1 you would strum the chord using the first note in the parentheses (E), then pull off that finger so the C# plays. If it was in reverse, (C#-E) one would play the chord using the C# then put you finger on the E, a hammer on, i.e. google guitar hammer ons and pull offs for more info. A hammer on or pull off can be of any note duration, a grace note or longer.

I hope this helps.
