I won't address the options you suggested, because I think they should 
be evaluated by a developper/coder.
However, as I often download galleries (and have some myself), I might be
able to give you a few hints:
Restricting files to be downloaded by
a) file-name
b) the directory they are in

To a):
-R*.gif,*tn*,*thumb*,*_jpg*,*small*
you get the picture I guess (pun not intended, but funny nevertheless). 
Works quite well. 

To b):
--reject-dir *thumb*

(I am not sure about the correct spelling/syntax, I currently have neither
wget nor winzip -or similar- on this machine, sorry!)

IIRC, you are correct, but this is intentional. (right?)
You probably think of the case where during a recursive download, the
connection breaks and a large file is only partially downloaded.
I could imagine that this might be useful.
However, I see a problem when using timestamps, which normally require 
that a file be downloaded, if sizes local/on the server do not match, 
or the date on the server is newer. 
How should wget decide if it needs to "re-get" or "continue" the file?
You could probably to "smart guessing", but the chance of false decisions
persists.
As a matter of fact, the problem is also existing when using --continue on a
single file, but then it is the user's decision and the story is therefore
quite different (I think).
