If sphere worlds are impossible given these settings, is it possible to alter the files somehow so I can build sphere worlds without restarting the game?
Sure. Just copy over the data from the stock game for those components and overwrite the relevant components in Proportions. Transfer the generator, cabling, and plating components only. You might want to create a backup copy of the Proportions Components.txt file before doing this...

I tried editing the components file directly to reduce the required supplies by a factor of 1,000, but when I attempted to load my save game I was told that my data files were of a different Version than those used in the save. I had to restore the backup I made to continue playing.

Editing the components.txt file doesn't work - I'd imagine I'd have to edit the save game file itself somehow.

Did you start the game in Simultaneous Movement mode? If so, you will need to load the savegame as "Host" and process a turn. Then, the changed data files will be allowed.
