I have a tube power supply that is putting out 520VDC. I need 350VDC
(at ~80mA) maximum. I am trying to think of a creative way to drop
the voltage.


Phil suggested a string of zener diodes in series. But dropping
a fixed voltage exacerbates poor voltage regulation by keeping all
of your source variations, compared to your lower output voltage.

Never stops you from make a whole string a unjustified assumptions.

Ever heard of "Occam's Razor" ??
