I live in Sweden, and the clubs I play at would probably allow the use of the artificial methods I am about to mention. I am looking to create artificial GF bids for 1M-2m sequences. We will be using a F1NT w/ Bergen as well. My main questions would be regarding which events this would typically be legal to play in and if you feel it is a good idea to use when allowed. Will put the ideas I have in my head below for critique.
Playing a symmetric relay like scheme, you only need 2
♣ GF bid. Note that 5440 shapes are just shown as 5431, but in our experience, it hasn't come up so far.
1M - 2
♣ (artificial GF):
2
♦: All 5332, hands with 5+ minor
...........2S: 4+ clubs, exactly. 2N relays, then 3
♣+ = <Template-1 with 5+M, 4
♣>
...........2N: 5+5+ with M+
♣, 3
♣ relays, then 3
♦+ = <Template-2 with 5+M, 5+
♣>
...........3C: 5332 shapes
3
♦+ = <Template-2 with 5M, 5+
♦>
2
♥: 4+ OM. 2
♠ relays
...........2N: 5+5+ with both major. 3
♣ relays, then:
<Template-2>
.................3
♦: High short
.................3
♥: 6511/5611
.................3
♠+ = 5521, etc.
</Template-2>
...........3
♣+: Follow <Template-1>
2
♠: 5+M, 4
♦ exactly, 2N relays
<Template-1>
..................3
♣: Short in OM. 3

2N: 6+ major, no singleton or void

Of course, you will need to figure our what to do after shape is resolved, like DCB, RKC, etc...
