Would it be possible to take Cyanwrath’s armor and make it functionally a breastplate? I figured that’d be as simple as just taking said chest part of the armor, leaving off the extra bits like grieves, pouldrons, etc.

Maybe? It'll take you a fair bit longer than the time you have in the dungeon though, and some knowledge in Smith's Tools for that refitting. You'll save in materials though. Taking "just" the chest part isn't really cutting it since it doesn't provide the same kind of flexibility, given the structure of a splint mail. Should be possible in the longer run though.
