If I'm not wrong a pound of dry rye berries when prepared is a quart of prepared rye. Or do you mean 5 pounds of the spawn already colonized?
400g of coir is like 60% of a full brick so that's like ~7-8 quarts of substrate with the verm added too. 1 quart of gypsum seems like a lot I would use a big handful.
so all in all if you have 7-8 quarts of substrate and 5 quarts of spawn then your ratio is good 
just go for a 1:2 ratio of spawn to substrate...

What is the benefit of gypsum to rye ? (or in my case WBS) ?
would you get more flushes?, with i.e. coir+wbs+gypsum vs no gypsum

I think rr said it could increase yeilds by up to 25%
ITs just a high nutrient additive

 idk give me volumes or look it up how much pounds of rye are a quart. I never weight it I use volume.
go for 2 parts substrate to 1 part spawn by volume 
you can do 1:1 too or even 4 parts substrate to 1 part spawn but I wouldn't go any more "dilute" than that.
*you add gypsum to the substrate(the coir/poo etc) it's good for the mushrooms. If you add gypsum to the rye spawn jars in perpetration it can help keep them from clumping together as well as be nutrient for the mycelium

What about wormcastings then? that would be massive but probably more contam prone? , would probably need some pH adjustment ?
