I see what you mean about the parallels, I wasn't paying too much attention to them, was concentrating on the secondary dominants. I shall be much more attentive on the next ones, to ensure none slip in

Yes, I do know figured bass, and use it regularly, I find it much easier to write melody and bassline, figuring the bassline, if I'm in a hurry to get something notated than to write out the harmony in any other way.

The Bb major in my V/ii exercise was there to lead smoothly into the A major chord, it could be analysed as VI in D minor, or a borrowed VII from the tonic minor. I personally would call it both

I shall make a start on the Minor ones, and should have them done relatively soon. I shall make an effort to be slightly more creative with them, trying out some of your formulae, and looking for others of my own.
