Yes, but a grayscale profile is definitionally incapable of working with the
Small Gamut inks...

What he is looking for pushes the envelope of that a color profile is, and
certainly will at least require that he build his own scanning template for
the EyeOne... and the software may or may not stretch far enough to profile
the rather unusual Small Gamut inks. The question is not whether Match can
build an RGB profile but whether the software is robust and flexible enough
for this specific usage or not. For instance, the target has no bars between
patches, assuming that the color contrast will be enough to tell the EyeOne
that the patches have changed. With the Small Gamut inks the variation
between patches is much reduced, and scanning errors may occur, meaning that
profiles can only be built by manually measuring the patches. Or the search
alogrithms in the software that matches the patches may not be prepared to
find so many possible matches in such different locations, causing poor
choices and holes in the fabric of the profile. So rather than pounding our
chests and shouting "GretagMacbeth can do it", lets try it, and see if there
is a way to get the Match software to manage this rather unique process.
