A little hint with my final seven will hopefully set me on the path for victory (and/or actually entering some letters into the grid).

LESSENS FOR EDMUND ON DIVIDING TIME (7).

I'm sure it's got some kind of Spenserian language in there but those always do my head in.

Thanks!

'On' is the usual cricket word, inside a word, a plural, meaning eons, long periods of time. The word looked odd, but it was in the dictionary.

I always forget cricket! That and Spenser, my achilles heels. Got it, thank you.

Fairly enjoyable end game, but I can’t say I’m a fan of this type of puzzle where you have to cold solve almost all the clues before you can begin to look for the theme. They feel more interesting when you can gradually progress towards bits of phrases, and occasionally spot another bit that helps with some unchecked cell, or solve another clue to help with checked cells. However, we don’t all have the same tastes and glad everyone else seemed to have enjoyed it!
