I'm the wrong guy to ask. Especially without a sample of the 'target' wire to measure and inspect.
The big proviso in your answer is IF. IF you can duplicate a bunch of stuff about the wire, connectors, fabrication, you should get REAL close.
It is possible that the OEM of the 'target' cable either uses Off The Shelf stuff or if the order is large enough, can have something custom made. THAN you're in trouble!
If I were making a DIY interconnect? I'd investigate single crystal copper. And than see how it can be purchased, with what insulation and sizes.
Speaker cable? Up for grabs, as to what you can get and at what cost.

That is a big IF. But I think you're right: I should be able to get close.
It's funny, because I saw here that a previous user of the cable thought it was made from Belden wire, and I thought to myself, "if that's true, and Belden doesn't have OCC wire options, I will probably go with the OCC from another manufacturer." This project is stirring up my audiophilia nervosa....
May the bridges we burn light our way....
And IF you can match a target wire or cable Electrically, no guarantee of identical sound. Insulator type? Wire composition? Connector and attachment?
And depending on YOUR choices and what's available VS the OEM, your version may be better, or not!
And more or less cost effective. As if the highest end of cable purchasers don't have their OWN version of 'cost effective'.....
Part of the REAL hangup is you'll never KNOW. Every cable maker has an opinion. and I susepct each makes does something really well and some other stuff...not so smart.
Check the Beldin Catelogue for something of interest and perhaps order up some samples...enough to build a pair for test.
