This is what I would suggest. When I was a rookie in 2004, and COTS gearboxes weren't easily available, we had to make a drivetrain using two stages of chain reductions.
You are going to have a hard time doing more than a 3:1 per stage with shaft driven sprockets, since the large tooth counts tend to be plate sprockets. Not sure what size sprockets are easily available there.
