Have you thought about approaching an ECW re-enactment society with this request, they may be in a better position to test it out, ie large block of pikemen, the only thing needed would be some basic shields made from plywood...
I'm afraid I dont much about the ECW groups, but the only time I've used a pike of any length was as part such a period pike block... perhaps its a possibilty to test the theory in practice..

Let us know the results...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
