What determines the conjugation of Venir in this case is the thing, not the person(s) just as Gustar is conjugated.

Perfect.

You could do with some sleep - Te vendrías bien que dormir

I don't know about other countries, but in Spain you have to say "Te vendría bien dormir", where "dormir" is the grammatical subject.

They could have done with a beer - Se han vendrido una cerveza

Too literal. In Spain we'd have said "Podrían haberse tomado una cerveza", or else.

We had been doing nicely without you - nos habrían estado vendido bien sin tí

Your translation sounds totally unacceptable and unrecognisable. Try "Nos habíamos apañado sin ti".

I could do with a chocolate bar - no me vendría mal una chocolatina tongue laugh

This one looks good.
