What modifications might an elf or half-elf adventurer make to a suit of plate primarily intended for humans, if they had access to a competent blacksmith?

Depends on the setting. You don't want to hear this, but it really does.
If you're the author of a setting, you can decide an elf is nine feet tall with four arms and it will be true.
There is no single correct answer for the bodily measurements of elves because they're fictional creatures that have deviated quite a lot from the original concept.

Precisely. Are elves supposed to be tall, short, or the same height as humans? Or halfling sized, which is true in some settings.
If you're talking D&D, then there's considerable overlap in size and builds. And ears aren't so tall that it's a problem.
So basically other than normal resizing, no, no changes.
Gotcha, thanks.

Probably get some gay shit like metal leaves welded on to make it look "better." Or maybe get the metal colored.
Elves suck and have bad taste.
In our game it would be a custom breastplate for obscenely gigantic knockers.

Even in DnD, there is a bit of variation.
Elves in Forgotten Realms are much smaller than humans on average, while Eberron elves are almost the same average height and stockier like humans.

I don't know if this passed you by somehow, but when people start threads like this, they're not looking for a correct answer to a conundrum. they're looking for people to come up with creative ideas riffing off whatever [their favourite setting] has to say about [topic].
The "it depends on the settting" is implicit in the OP.

Without context, the question is meaningless, and since it is already entirely uninteresting, it is now entirely without worthless.

Probably pay/work to make it smaller/thinner/longer etc so it fits him better.
Same thing a human who is not the size that armor is intended for would do. And an orc. And a hobbit.
Poems inscribed telling the world how awesome and beautiful he/she is.
Depends on who owned the armour and who the elf is. ffs use your brain OP.
