Default tiling roof - interlocking concrete tiles

I'm now ready to tile my roof. Interlocking concrete tiles on
monopitch roof with mono ridge.
Now it seems pretty simple really, but I have a couple of questions.

1. The tiles I am using must be fitted at a fixed gauge (low pitch
forticrete centurion).
So I'll probably end up with a part tile at the top. Should I just cut
the top off the tile and drill a
new nail hole a nail this to an elevated batten ? Most of this may end
up being covered by the
mono ridge tile anyway.

2. Is it usual to fit a whole row of tiles at a time and walk over
them to fit the rest ?
I'd say its better to diagonally fit them (across and up) and then
only have to walk over
a few tiles to get down !

Cheers,
Simon.
