I found another reason why Chara and Frisk's arrivals in the Underground couldn't have been 400 years apart.

The lion's share of Asriel Chara-infused essense went into Flowey, the first flower. But traces of it also spread to some of the surrounding flowers that followed.

These demi-sentient determination-infused seeds then choose two incredibly particular and inhospitable places to sprout: The exact places where Frisk fell. Not once.. but TWICE.

Somehow... these flower seeds knew the exact places where Frisk would fall in the future. And made the surpreme effort of growing in places where flowers shouldn't grow, specifically to create flower beds to break Frisk's fall in the future.

There was no flower bed to break Chara's fall originally, she hit the stone floor. These flowers grew after Chara's fall.

Which means that at the time she died, and was absorbed by Asriel, Chara KNEW Frisk. And knew where he was going to fall. So when time rewound, the seeds knew where they had to be to save him.

Or, alternatively, the seeds knew that Chara, or part of their shared essense of Chara, would be controlling Frisk when he came in. So they set up cushions to break Chara's fall. Which makes a little more sense since bits of Chara's soul didn't have working Compassion at the time, and would lean toward self-interest.

So... Chara knew Frisk.

Which would take some large-scale time travel to explain in the Chara Fell Centures Ago model. But fits neatly into my Alpha and Beta timeline theory.
