I assume I would do 2-4 cakes to 1-2 quarts of CVG.

I've seen 1:1 and 1:2 spawn to substrate ratios mentioned on these boards quite a few times. I did 1:1 with my BRF cakes and coir in a shoebox.

recall how much rice you put in each cake, if your PF cake was 1/3rd brown rice flour, 2/3rds verm, then 3 jars of whatever the hell size it is = 1 jar of grain. you want at a bare minimum, a 1:4 ratio.

Going in super dilute is just asking for contams, if the mycelium/food is too far apart it wont bother trying to reconnect the network fully. plus the further it has to expand to join is biomass permanently taken away from the yield.

Also remember, if you arent planning on fruiting the cakes directly, you can change the recipe to be richer, so theres more food per jar.

99% of the available biomass that goes into making the fruits comes from your brown rice, more rice = more yield.
expanding it into CVG doesnt change that fact.
Ive seen it done, maybe consider looking into a tek or example grow log that supplements the coir with some shredded straw, cubensis can digest that and draw considerably biomass from that.
