You can never return an RGB format to mosaiced raw data, but you can
encapsulate it in DNG.
Not sure what you mean by 'encapsulate it in DNG'.

A sad misunderstanding from the early days of digital. TIFF in camera is an
8bit RGB format and essentially no better than JPEG except for the lack of
compression losses.
You can never return an RGB format to mosaiced raw data, but you can
encapsulate it in DNG. It does benefit from some standardization, but
little else.

Herb Keppler (I think it was him) did a review of the *ist-D and he said
that since the camera offered TIFF as one of the image formats, that was
the way to go because the TIFF standard was likely to be around for a
long time and the various camera RAW formats probably not so much.
I don't know if you can convert them, but I think the DNG file will
encapsulate them.
