I think that even if you script it, the AR value displayed in the status will be based on the percentage of the layers found in the source code.

By the way the values on the wiki seems outdated, these are the new ones

static const CArmorLayerType sm_ArmorLayers[ARMOR_QTY] =
{
{ 15, sm_ArmorLayerHead }, // ARMOR_HEAD
{ 7, sm_ArmorLayerNeck }, // ARMOR_NECK
{ 0, sm_ArmorLayerBack }, // ARMOR_BACK
{ 35, sm_ArmorLayerChest }, // ARMOR_CHEST
{ 14, sm_ArmorLayerArms }, // ARMOR_ARMS
{ 7, sm_ArmorLayerHands }, // ARMOR_HANDS
{ 22, sm_ArmorLayerLegs }, // ARMOR_LEGS
{ 0, sm_ArmorLayerFeet } // ARMOR_FEET
};

By the way, take note that when using the old armour system the damage will be not reduced by a percentage, instead it will be reduced by a flat amount, the percentage is just used for contributing to the total AR of a character.

Code:

First the value ArmorMax is calculated:

ArmorMax = AR * Random(7,35) / 100  

Then the value ArmorMin is calculated by halving ArmorMax
ArmorMin =  ArmorMax / 2

the flat amount reduction is calculated by using both ArmorMax and ArmorMin:
Reduction = Random(ArmorMin, (ArmorMax - ArmorMin + 1 )

If the damage is magical, reduction will be halved by 2.

Finally subtract  the reduction from the damage.

By doing some test its seems that:
With an AR of 100, you will reduce the amount of damage by a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 19.
With an AR of 10, you will reduce the amount of damage by a minimum of 0 ( no damage reduction) and a maximum of 3.
With an AR of 50, you will reduce the amounf of damage by a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 9
