Are you able to compile SeaBIOS from source and install it on your Samus?
Compile? I could have a go, but don't want to brick my device. Happy to write a RW_LEGACY from John Lewis.
Or learn how to - bit risky for a newbie?
If you've never removed the flash read/write screw (and you normally hit cntl-L to enter seabios) then bricking shouldn't be a problem. (No guarantees.) It may require a full chrome re-install to recover should something go wrong though. If you have removed the read/write screw then you should only proceed if you know what you are doing, and you should have the ability to restore from an external flasher.
Roughly, the steps to build and flash a RW_LEGACY section is as follows:
1 - grab the code:
git clone https://github.com/KevinOConnor/seabios.git -b testing
2 - build the code:
cd seabios echo "CONFIG_COREBOOT=y" > .config echo "CONFIG_CBFS_LOCATION=0xffe00000" >> .config echo "CONFIG_VGA_COREBOOT=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_DEBUG_LEVEL=5" >> .config make olddefconfig make
3 - build the RW_LEGACY image by copying the attached chromeimage.sh to the seabios directory, make it executable, and run the script:
./chromeimage.sh
Be sure to follow the directions in that script for extracting the original image and for writing the generated image.
Please review the script and make sure it makes sense before running anything. If you don't understand a step then you probably will want to hold off until someone can build a tested rom for you.

Looking at the output from Googles ChromeOS shell-ball, I do:
Write the hardware ID to get future ChromeOS updates
$ ./gbb_utility --set --hwid="SAMUS XXX-YYY-ZZZ" bios.bin bios.hwid.bin
# dd out 2 megs of the ROM at 4 megs in
$ dd bs=1M skip=4 count=2 if=bios.hwid.bin of=rwlegacy.cbfs
Using the flashrom from John's site as upstream doesn't know anything about flashmap.
$ wget https://johnlewis.ie/Chromebook-ROMs/utils/flashrom -O flashrom.jlewis
$ sudo ./flashrom.jlewis -w -i RW_LEGACY:rwlegacy.cbfs
Looking at your script, ORIGIMAGE is my bios.hwid.bin
Do I run flashrom from the shell-ball
$ sudo flashrom -w ./newimage.rom -i RW_LEGACY
Or John Lewis flashrom
$ sudo flashrom.jlewis.version -w ./newimage.rom -i RW_LEGACY
