I just picked up an 1800s mappin & webb 4 piece set with case. Three of the blades have nicks, One SR is rather deep and it appears I am dealing with all 4/8. Any suggestions working with such short honing space of blade left? This would be my first job honing an SR.

For a first honing attempt & even if you are expert in honing other things, I would humbly suggest you practice on cheaper razors first.
