You have two separate questions. First, the formula (with currents at miminum and maximum load resistances substituted for voltages) is applicable. This is only the effect of changing current with load resistance. Everything else is understood to be held constant, including the input voltage, the junction temperature of the LM317HV and the resistance of R1.
Of course they have made some (unstated) assumptions about the minimum voltage across the LM317HV and therefore the minimum and maximum resistances and input voltage. If we assume a minimum load of 0Ω and a maximum of 10Ω, then we would need to apply a minimum of 10.4 + 1.25 + 3 or about 15V to have a minimum of 3V across the regulator chip. Vin-Vout would change from 3V to almost 14V as the load resistance changes, or about 11V. The datasheet suggests the resulting change in output voltage will be about 0.01%/V or about 0.11%.
There is an additional term in the current regulator circuit- the adjustment current is added to the nominal output current of Vref/R1. The ADJ current, however, is only 50uA typically so it's a small percentage of the nominal 1.04A output current of the given circuit. So if one scales down the output current (say to 20mA) by increasing R1 to about 62.5Ω, the ADJ current will represent more than 50x as much error in the output current. There is not much information in the datasheet on what happens with the ADJ current as the voltage Vin-Vout changes.
You ask about the effects of R1, temperature etc. Those effects are all additive. They may add positively or negatively. For example, the datasheet does give typical change of ADJ current with temperature. The reference voltage will change with temperature (typical and maximum figures given in the datsheet). And, of course, if R1 changes by 1%, the output current will change by almost exactly 1%. Since the given circuit is operating at a relatively high power dissipation (minimum ~3W dissipation in the regulator and about 1W in the resistor), the junction temperature and the resistor temperature will change significantly as the parts heat up. There is also the effect of input voltage (line regulation), which in turn, has a great effect on the junction temperature of the LM317HV (and therefore the reference voltage and ADJ current). A subtle effect is the change of junction temperature with load resistance. There will be a long (thermal time constant) tail to the effect of change in load resistance as the junction temperature changes. The 0.1% may be true for 100usec after the load resistance changes from max to min, but after a few minutes it might be much, much more.
In general, as a comment, this is not really a suitable circuit for a "0.1%" stable current source, nor is it great if you need good compliance (low minimum voltage drop across the current regulator) or decent performance at much lower currents than 1A. It is simple, relatively cheap and makes a good datasheet example, but there are good reasons it's very seldom, if ever, used in real life in the form shown.
