The sense I have of the A2 bit is that you've combined a mad robin with a hey, right? I'd start with that as the description. It's just a hey passing the one you swung by right shoulder, but you're facing your partner in the other line of four as you go.
And if it's not a hey, but in fact something a little different then a hey in terms of the switches, then I'd try to see if it would work as a mad robin hey... But then, I'm not actually sure what you mean by weave the ring in B1; so possibly I should get some more sleep after my own gigs.
