An sparring time? This may come as huge a surprise, but I doubt Plagueis has this, or anything for that matter.
1) His natural skills as a physical-beast are high, but there is no world in where he's more skilled than Krayt. Who before one-hundred years and one-thousand notch counts, had already given Kenobi a fight to remember
2) While clad in vong-spores, Krayt killed the Force-resistant Zealots with lightning. The Implants that plagued him were not just known to dull ones Force connection, but diminish their latent ability completely. That certainly beats Hego's non-feat of killing random assailants in a shit condition.
2) He's the dark counterpart of Luke when balanced on the throne of something-or-other, as of Fate of the Jedi. While Hego's ridiculously false self-praise can be discarded for sith lords who came after. If the nofeats.txt law applies, then holistically speaking, Krayt still has this.

Aside from the fact that Plagueis would blitz in that situation, I'm not seeing what it has on defeating a late-generation Banite Sith Lord, who was an ambidextrous master of multiple forms made expert in Plagueis' fighting style. And that was over 30 years before his prime, where he experienced an artificial increment to his power.

And Plagueis possessing the equivalent of a 1,000 years of advancement in Sith combat techniques (if Sidious' abilities are anything to go by including seven styles mastery, ambidextrous dueling ability and various exotic martial skills) > 100 years or so combat experience against opponents of unknown prowess; that doesn't even top Scourge.

First of all though resistant to most Force attacks, the Vong appear to be in general vulnerable to Force lightning, and it stands to reason that generating a lethal electrical current would be enough to kill one.
And seeing as with a "trickle" of lightning Plagueis almost set an Ikotichi priestess aflame, bringing her blood to a literal boil. And with a "tangle" of lightning seemingly reduced a man's bones to dust, I'd say he'd manage that with culpable ease. Especially when both feats are again over 30 years before his prime.
Yeah Krayt is way out of his league here.

Holistically speaking Plagueis was the penultimate Sith in the Rule of Two, who have been steadily growing more powerful with each generation since Bane (who is ashing people and creatures with his lightning, and reducing squads of soldiers to pulp with his TK), alongside Sidious caused unprecedented imbalance in the Force, and was regarded by Luceno as capable of defeating Sheev in lightsaber combat. He manages. Regardless seeing as feats are actually a valid means of assessing ability that's largely irrelevant, Plagueis wins.
