Somewhere at the beginning of the manga we are told that chakra is created by the soul and the body, so if there's no soul and no real body then no new chakra should be created, and thus the copy soon runs out of the finite amount of chakra and dies.

Chakra is not created from a combination of "soul" and "body". Rather, it is a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, and while spiritual may sound like "soul" it is in fact closer to knowledge and experience. Physical energy is more akin to the idea of a "soul", but really it has more to do with the energy of "life" within a body (p.s. senjutsu is the "natural energy" that is found in nature).
