Aug 3, 2015 at 17:49 comment added Mikhail Borovoi Thank you, Jason. I indeed want "here is how I would try to it", also for some orthogonal representation of another group $H$. However, I have in mind another kind of approach: to use somehow tables from Bourbaki or from Onishchik and Vinberg, and I don't know how to use those tables for my question...
Aug 3, 2015 at 17:31 comment added Jason Starr Probably you want the matrix, and not a "here's how I would try to do it" comment. Nonetheless: here is how I would try to do it. For each of the minimal parabolic groups $P_H$ properly containing $B_H$, and for each of the maximal parabolic subgroups $P_G$ properly contained in $G$, $P_H/B_H$ is a $\mathbb{P}^1$ that maps to $G/P_G$. It is possible to compute the degree on this $\mathbb{P}^1$ of the ample generator of the Picard group of $G/P_G$ by localization with respect to the $2$ fixed points for the action of the maximal torus. Of course I am not saying that is easy . . .
