After decompiling the LGP file called battle.lgp, you can basically just swap characters simply by renaming the files to the correct designation. So Cloud's designation is RT while Red's is RW. If you make a copy of Cloud's files, rename them to RW, and then overwrite Red's files you get two Clouds.

Only thing you'd need to do for a bit of stability is edit the kernel so that the changed character's weapon sounds are that of the desired weapon (so our Fake Cloud's sword still sounds like Red's attack). And you'd need to change the limit breaks too because that's just far too silly to put up with.
