I can even see some of what appears as gratuitous use of fittings on the surface being intentional to add restriction to one loop to tune the flow between parallel loops.

Well I cannot speak for everyone (I know a number of people who cool dual CPU's in paralell) but in general (read my situation) its all in series. I also have no right angle connectors (unless you include the one attached to my GPU block).
It goes pump - rad - cpu - Nb - GPU - HDD - res.
The mofset cooler used to be in series also untill I changed my board and removed it.
I can post a pic if anyone wants...
Also most low flow / small tbning users will admit to a sacrafice in temps but will argue its only a degree or 2 (as I myself have done many times). What I get in return is neat routing, a completely (or damn near) watercooled near silent system and a good looking set up. To me its well worth the sacrafice.
