Suckling, liked your spread that you found with your Haindl deck. It reminded me of one I found on a Wheel of Change Tarot review yesterday - I think it was at learntarot.com . I had never seen any other spreads that split the cards this way until you posted.
Split the deck into 3 piles: majors, minors, and courts. Shuffle independently.
.......12......
1.....2.....3
...4......5...
...6......7...
...8......9...
...10....11.
1 - Major - Life's theme
2 - Major - Life's challenge
3 - Major - Reason for being
4 - Court - Childhood - who you were
5 - Minor - Childhood - what was going on at the time
6 - Court - Adolescence - who you were/are
7 - Minor - Adolescence - what was going on at the time
8 - Court - Adult til 40's - who you were/are/will be
9 - Minor - Adult til 40's - what was going on at the time
10 - Court - Adult after 40 - who you were/are
11 - Minor - Adult after 40 - who you were/are/will be
12 - Major - Crowning achievement
Kind of difficult to lay out, but interesting. You can use whatever ages feel right for the childhood/adolescence split.
I showed this to a friend who's writing a novel. She used it to help define one of her problem characters a bit better.
