That's fine. Gaps are expected and desired.

That's fine too. I don't have any restrictions on page size or font size.

Yes, but that's really what I need, to make it clear where additional chords
appear within each bar. Viewing a 12-bar chorus (or any jazz chord sheet,
really) just doesn't make much sense without proportional spacing.

Yeah, that's slightly unfortunate but tolerable - another reason why a
non-parallel solution would be nicer.

Thanks a lot! If you find a way to get this proportionally spaced then
that would be good enough for me. But I suspect if you do, the
parallelisation wouldn't bring any additional benefit ...
