.325 on a 462.

1, is it worth doing, as it's what my 261 runs on, and 2, is there even a sprocket that's suitable available?

Not sure why you would want a 70cc saw on .325 because the bars over 20" are rare. If your looking to standardise the put your 261 on 3/8 which is a simple modification.  They actually run quite on it if you don't go above 15".

Ok, I'll just keep on a 3/8.

There’s a 325 large spline 8tooth sprocket which STIHL do, I know some Europeans use a 18” bar with this combination.

hope this helps

A guy I cut with recently switched 462 to .325 for a 20 inch bar and says it is absolutely unreal for snedding.

I'll bear in mind, 

Worst case I keep the 660 on 3/8 and the 462 on .325.

 

But, on a 15" it looks mad, and it's mental when it touches wood😅

I run a Husky 362 which has be a bit modified, got a 372xp piston and pot, 9 toothed drive sprocket .325 bar and chain at 24 inch. Is one hell of  a saw for ringing up timber.
