Despite the fact that you're the first person to claim that a Slayer is going to have some sort of bacteria growing up his ass that eats metal, you don't address certain points...
1. That the blade is an alien metal, and its properties are likely altered and/or enhanced by sith magics.
2. One swipe = bisected Vong. Not a whole lot of time to wait for bacteria to kick in.
3. Ragnos grabs the Slayer and crushes him with bare hands.
4. Ragnos uses sceptre to obliterate Vong.
5. Ragnos uses force to encapsulate Vong in rock.
6. Insert random force/melee/clever feat here...
HaHa
1.) Likely? Sounds like an assumption.
2.)Metal eating bacteria is not the only thing they have. I doubt one swipe would kill it. They regenerate.
3.) Slayers are powerful species themselves. Whether Ragnos will be able to grasp his hands around a Vong succesfully is the question. Considering the fact that the Vong have thud bugs.
4.) Proof that the sceptre could kill it?
5.) Who said their is debris laying around the arena.
6.).......................................................................

What the...?
First I'd like to see how a bacteria attacks a sword made out of cortosis or equal material (able to withstand lightsaber hits) in a time that Ragnos needs to place a few - or only one - hit at his opponent.
And even if we assume that this is possible. Have a look at Ragnos. That guy is a muscle-packed, massive mixture of man and insectoid Sith able to move at unbelieveable high speed - something like Shimmra on steroids after receiving an adrenaline injection. If he loses his sword to a metal eating bacteria - for some reason - I guess he would be able to tear the Slayer apart with his bare hands.
This is not even mentioning that you miss the kynetic energy behind a sword strike coming from Ragnos. Even if you wear an armor that won't break or get cut into pieces by such an attack the energy behind such a strike is still enough to break your bones. And we know that Vong armor isn't able to withstand hits by normal melee weapons since Bolpuhr (Leia's Noghri bodyguard) managed to stab a Vong warrior through his sternum using a knife.

It seems like Shimmra would give Ragnos a better matchup than a regular Vong Slayer.

Here is something you didn't expect. WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT SLAYERS HAVE BO'TOS?
Slayers as well as everyone else are classified as The Yuuzhan Vong race. BO'TOS is a Yuuzhan Vong weapon. Why wouldent they have it.
Its like trying to argue that Wookies dont have grenade launchers just because you dont seem them use it.

That's like saying every underling Sith in the damn Empire has a Nihilus style Force Drain because Nihilus derived it from the Ancient Sith.
First of all, you're missing the point. Like Janus and Nai says, a sith sword is substantially different from a lightsaber. With sith alchemy, it could have a extremely fine cutting point. Also, it has this thing called kinetic energy and momentum going for it, something a saber does not have. The second the sword comes into contact with their exoskeleton, energy transfers and there is change in momentum, or impact.
Even if the Vong can resist the initial blow, the impact would be huge and they're likely be sent careening into next week.
