"I believe they do grind the holes through toughened glass for opening rear
windows etc."
When I had some done they drilled the holes before tempering the glass.

Is the car a Mk1 coupe or a Mk2 saloon ?
The windscreen on a Mk1 Fiesta is a different size (bigger) to the Mk2
Fiesta.
With there matching different size rubbers they fit in the same size
opening.
It may well be that the rear screen is the same.
So a Mk2 Fiesta rear screen might be a better fit.
I couldn't get a new Mk2 rear screen to fit back into my Mk2 Saloon without
cutting the bottom off the rubber 'T' trim, the glass was too close a fit to
the opening.
As others have said you almost certainly won't get away with cutting the
glass.
A diamond disc in an angle grinder might let you grind a small amount off
the edge but would be very risky.
Maybe experiment on an old window first.

Subject: [Quantum Owners]resizing rear window
I need to put a new rear window in the coupe.
I have a brand new MK1 rear window but it is just a bit to wide at the top
Over an area of about 10 to 15cm it needs to be smaller
- 3 to 4 mm at each side (incl. a 1 mm expansion gap)
Any Idea how to do this
Grinding / sanding/ . . . . with water to cool the glass?
Is it made of safety glass?
Than I might be able to cut it . . .

Has anybody done this before?
