if more base gaskets are fitted does that not increase the squish even more rather than reducing it.

Sorry it was a reply to you asking about not fitting a head gasket, my barrel was top and tailed by Sean as well..you may well have to have the head skimmed to reduce the squish to your requirements but on the plus side at least you will know its flat..
