It's the filter box air restrictor. However, that part isn't on the Central Powersports Distribution website's diagram for my bike.

If my bike should have that part it would likely explain it running badly. I had pretty much the same issue on another used bike I bought. The previous owner had cut the opening into the air box larger and then it wouldn't idle properly. Took me ages to work out the issue, but it ran great once I did!

Does anyone have that air restrictor on their bike?

...I'd really appreciate a photo and/or description of the holes in it so I can try to recreate it

It doesn't explain the air coming out from behind the clutch slave cylinder, but there's no reason to think there's only one (more) issue to solve on this bike.
You should not have that air retrictor in your air filter box. It is only used for restricting the motor.
