Why not just buy one that was already made like this? There are plenty of longswords and bastard swords to chose from. If the handle isn't long enough to change its reach then this is the best option. If the handle is long enough to change its reach then it should be classed as a polearm.

But I was curious to know if layering on the chest was actually as restricting as RAW says it should be? And whether it would be more restrictive than a really thick plate coreslet?

Yes and yes.
