This method could work, but you would need to let the tension down. Use 
masking tape to cover the cracks from the soundboard side.

Then turn the piano upside down, and use A runny wood filler epoxy, the type 
Webb Phillips sells, to fill in the cracks. After the epoxy has dried, turn 
the piano back over, and remove the masking tape, and retune the piano.

I've done this with the stirrings off, but it might work with the strings on. 
The main problem is getting under the plate, if there are cracks there.
