If this is a no-go, would you know of any other way to go about such a task?I think pm215 is right. You'd likely need to code something yourself, and I find that homonyms often make it difficult to automate this kind of thing 100%, though it may be less of any issue in your case.
I haven't looked into how JMDict numbers its definitions, but I wouldn't be surprised if the order or even the definitions themselves differed to your monolingual ones. Even different Japanese dictionaries can differ between each other.
