This was worrying me too. There's already a time extension for the deck check. If I were allowing time to acquire and sleeve 60 cards, I would probably allow 10 minutes. It might be better customer service to the tournament as a whole to present the options as:
1. player may continue the event without a sideboard
2. player may warp the sideboard cards to match the deck.
3. player may finish this round without sideboarding and replace the main deck between rounds (and I could possibly issuing a 5 minute time extension to the next round if needed).
Or does 5 minutes seem reasonable to acquire and sleeve a new deck? I could allow that on top of the deck check time extension. Then if the player chose that option AND I had an available judge I might offer judge assistance with sleeving (but probably after the fact because it's faster for the tournament if the player chooses option 1 or 2).
