I'm not super aware of your situation, but following a "process" just because even though it's ridiculous in extreme cases like this is absurd.
There's no good reason why --diff-filename doesn't work with Perforce other than that it just hasn't been used. Passing in a diff file with perforce is very rare because it would first require creating the diff with "rbt diff" (since p4 diff creates broken diff files), and if you're doing that, you might as well use "rbt post". Perhaps you can use "rbt post -X ..." or "rbt post -I ..." to pare down the size of the diff rather than hand-editing it?
