    No limit to the number of 5v regulators you can use, use a TO92 reg for each PIC and LCD backlight. Put them anywhere on the board you want to.

    There ya go. They're small enough, you could 'deadbug' them all over the place.

    As far as driving the backlight, yes, you should be able to increase the current limiting resistor value to decrease the backlight down to a more manageable level.
