Womble,
It seems like you are adding a load of extra joints and making it over complicated.
You say you are using a BOV and offboard O2/Dil?
If so, I would consider something along the lines of:-
Onboard O2 plumbed into solenoid
Offboard O2 plumbed into O2 manual add.
Onboard Dil plumbed into ADV
Offboard Dil (bailout) plumbed into BOV

That gives you access to all your gases, the onboard O2 cylinder valve can be used to isolate the solenoid, the onboard Dil cylinder valve can be used to isolate the ADV and you have access to your bailout through the BOV without any restrictions that could give higher WOB at depth (high WOB is bad when trying to recover from a CO2 hit)
