400 std bore = 4.342, +.020 = 4.362

440 std bore = 4.320, +.040 = 4.360

A 460 Ford is also 4.360 at std bore size.

The non-file fit ring for the 4.360 bore would have .006-ish more end gap than the ring for the 4.362 bore.
If you couldn't live with that, then you could get a file fit ring(+.005) for the 4.360 bore and make the gap whatever you want.
However, since the KB pistons require a rather large end gap anyway, you might still have to file fit the 4.360 ring.

Even if you ended up with an extra few thou end gap, that wouldn't bother me any.

Contacted them and they sell individual rings ( not through the website on line ). It seems they have just afew in stock but should be able to sell me the one I need per what the information department replied me. Still waiting for the customer service answer about availability and price.

What amazes me is it seems nobody else is selling those. Not even KB what they usually offered them on the pistons and rigns kits
