If you can open the country OSM in any OSM editor - Merkaartor is more
likely to work with really large files than JOSM - then you could draw a
way around the area of interest and save it. Then use the tool
"osm2poly" from SVN (requires the way to be tagged with polygon_id=1 and
polygon_filename=mypoly.poly or so), which will then generate a polygon
file that can be used with the Osmosis --bp task.
If you cannot open the country OSM in any editor then you could still
open your favourite editor and load a WMS (landsat) background and draw
the area on top of that, save as .osm and proceed as above.
Bye
