I swear that had previously been an easy way to just input a number of points in a row to generate a NURBS shape, like a box, etc. But I can't think of it

you likely remember the original Curve SOP, not Curve SOP 2.0

you can still use it if you want

Based on your first screenshot you already have remapped f@mask attribute, no need to deal with dist

So you can directly bind "mask" attribute in the shader

I definitely wouldn't try to set restlengths directly, there is so many different constraints

I usually just match the areas of uv panels to the real geo and use it as input for the Vellum Rest Blend
Which more or less sounds like what that paper seems to be about

This of course is best when uvs represent the real rest panels like from marvelous
