No interleague is actually helpful, as there can thus be re-use. E.g., the 1 subleague 8-team/130-game can be used also for the 2-subleague setups with 130 games and an 8-team subleague.
Odd numbers of teams are an issue in that some team has to be off while the rest are playing. There is no way around that.
The odd numbers of games for a couple I would be inclined to adjust to an even number. I know 6-teams/35-games mean each opponent is played 7 times, but it also means that the home/away splits for teams are not even. I can do it that way, but I consider it more "fair" (mainly I guess because it is much more common) to have all teams play equal numbers of games home & away even if there is thus not perfect balance versus all opponents.

Cool, that all sounds alright by me. Like I said, I'm very flexible! Re: the odd number of teams - I don't have a problem with one team being off for a series while the others play. And if, say, a 40 game schedule works better than 35, then that really is not a problem at all. Anything you can do would be hugely appreciated.
