I have some of these chips, mine are labeled KM68257 but the pinout
should be the same. If they are to be used, a GAL will be beeded instead
of glue logic because extra address decoding is needed. Both these chips
will not fit then - the factor here is their length, not width.

Currently I'm not. For smaller stuff I just solder it on a universal
board. For bigger ones like this, I normally start with a PCB design
first, order a prototype PCB, solder stuff on it, currect anby errors
that are found and go for production PCBs.
