How are you supposed to interpret sentences that are just of the form <relative clause><noun>? I don't have a picture on have but it'd be something like たおれた田中さん.

Wouldn't that just be "defeated Tanaka"?
It's easier to think of it as 修飾 and 述語
Or just convert it to broken English, you often can't translate without doing a rewrite.

Easiest way to understand it for any situation is place the <relative clause> as a comma phrase after the noun. Tanaka-san, who collapsed, ...
Of course for translation purposes, sometimes you can clean it up and rephrase to make it sound better in English "The collapsed Tanaka-san..."

you can use any clause that ends in a verb as a sort of adjective for a noun in Japanese.

Or I guess "descriptor" is a better term than adjective

I didn't word this well. What I mean is when the entire sentence is just the relative clause and noun, so no explicit verb/copula.

I mean, what's your problem exactly? This looks very straightforward to understand if you ask me.

だ is often omitted from the end in casual speech because it's too strong, maybe that's what's tripping you up.
