You could pull a tactically risky move and pull out forces for raiding in one house, subsisting on small reserves and attempting to win it all. Might even work...Both bretonia and Rheinland have far more massive problems and a surprise large scale assault might work.
Sairs can't target Stuttgart efficiently anyway, due to Hessian blockade. Also, Bretonia is a better pray in a sense, since Rheinland/Liberty war is cooling down and is generally down to small skirmishes, while Bretonia is under an all-out offensive by the strongest military force that exists, and is also lower on numbers.
On their place, I wouldn't risk getting all of my forces (since concentrated attack is what you propose) found themselves in an encirclement by Rheinland Fleets that were taken off the Liberty Frontline from one side, and Hessian horde from another.
Sigma-Frankfurt is a different question, ofcourse, but I wouldn't want to dedicate all available forces into Open-Ground warfare with Rheinland in Frankfurt, while leaving my own backyard totally undefended from Hessians. Spells a potential disaster, like in the first scenario.
Imho, Hessians, as the immediate and closest threat, would have to be dealt with first. After that Sairs would be able to decide, is it worth to break a NAP with Rheinland and try their luck in full-scale offensive operations against second strongest House Military (not counting the Gallics) - or is it better to push for the weaker pray, a.k.a. Bretonia. In the latter scenario, I can even imagine talks with Gallics - since those 2 have nothing to compete for (not for long, but they still can use each other to their mutual benefit)
