Newer versions' makefile has a target lynx.patch. If your lynx tree
you have mangled is in somewhere/lynx2-8-3/ it assumes a copy of
the original source exists unpacked in somewhere/orig/lynx2-8-3/
(or equivalent for other version numbers). I don't know whether that
is already in the 2.8.1 makefile.
So you would set up the directories that way, then within
somewhere/lynx2-8-3/ type "make lynx.patch", then the file lynx.patch
in the parent directory should contain the diff (not gzipped).
(Anyway, if you want to do it by hand, you should have a -c or -u in the
diff options. And I don't think zcat works that way.)

Yes, much preferred.

2.8.3dev.1.patch.gz takes you 2.8.2rel.1 -> 2.8.3dev.1
2.8.3dev.2.patch.gz " " 2.8.3dev.1 -> 2.8.3dev.2
2.8.3dev.3.patch.gz " " 2.8.3dev.2 -> 2.8.3dev.3
and so on.
But since you'll have to "jump" anyway (I don't think spearate patches
for 2.8.1 -> 2.8.2 are available anywhere, and even if they were it would
be a pain to apply them) just jump to the current latest full lynx2.8.3dev.9.
