I've done a fair amount of similar stitches (mainly maps and signposts), and I found that trying to optimize y,p,r,X,Y and Z all at once introduces to many degrees of freedom, so the whole thing totally fails. But you can still work on the whole image set at once if you only only do a few parameters at a time. I often start out with just X and Y and then take it from there, optimizing the others in turn. Once everything has 'gelled' nicely, you can optimize more parameters simultanously. Doing it this way is probably faster than introducing the images one by one and estimating parameters. The process also benefits from lots of CPs (like, 100-200 per pair). This makes me wonder if there couldn't be a specific mosaic optimization mode which follows such a pattern, thus avoiding the mess that usually happens if you try optimizing everything at once.
