Would be grateful if someone could suggest a way to disable the networking in the cloned VM within the XML, if that's possible.

I have no idea if it's possible to "disable" the NIC on the VM definition but you could boot into runlevel 1 (where there is no network) and perform the changes there. You may do this by passing a 1 to the end of the kernel line (during GRUB boot section). HTH, Jorge
