The armor resists with HT 12, and presumably any CP your opponent has on you could be spent as normal to reduce your roll.
Flexible armor gets treated as diffuse, so strictly by RAW you are limited to 2 HP of damage, so spending more than 5 CP to set max damage is wasteful. For 25 lbs of hauberk, that is 24 HPs to get through, so at best, 12 seconds to start forcing HT rolls before it falls off.

I think those rules are meant to be used for damaging articulations and the like of rigid armor, and aren't meant for use with flexible armor at all (they match the rules for denting articulations reasonably well, and "crippling" someone's arm by damaging their mail sleeves makes no real sense to me). I would certainly raise an eyebrow at the possibility of a normal human ripping mail apart with his bare hands in a matter of seconds!
