Here we are, with the yoke completed and the sleeves split off onto waste yarn. The bitch of the pattern (Spincraft's custom top-down raglan, if you're interested) is that while it works out really well I suspect for GUY body types, by the time you get the seam to the point where it meets under the arms, you've got funky stuff going on. If you keep going in-pattern to the point where the chest fits, the arms will be ridiculously huge and the armholes insanely baggy.
So instead of doing it that way, I worked it til the seam was long enough, split off the sleeves, then calculated how big around the front and back were at that point, and cast-on new stitches under the arm to make it big enough around the chest. Voila, reasonable armholes and arm size, and a chest that hopefully fits.
