Which would require a change to rule 40, unless there is some Roberts Rules of Order parliamentary trickery to temporarily suspend the rules.

Actually the convention is operated under the rules of the House of Representatives. I think I read that they were trying to change it so that Roberts Rules were used because the Rules of the House would allow them to reopen the nominations.

True. That is rule 30.

I don't think it will be as easy as it seems to use the House rules to abuse the convention rules. House rules are set up for legislative purposes.
