I should've booked BA all the way to CDG in the first place but hindsight is always 20-20 and I booked it under somewhat of a time crunch and so just didn't have the time to think of some of these things have have come to mind months later as I start making some decisions about the details of the trip.
Eurostar is quite flexible about sob stories (late arriving flights, etc).
If you book the 16:22 and only make the 17:31, you'll probably be allowed on with no problems. This isn't Ryanair.
