uniform snow load, and triangular snow load

Hello All
 Depending on the magnitudes of the intersection drifts, Drift1 and 2, the supporting member ( support 0,1,2,..) might have a uniform snow load from drift#1 and an additional triangular drift from drift#2.  I still have few "minor" issues.  I have some questions inside the sheet-Prime 9 in red text.

Can only comment on the first problem you stumbled upon, Adding the two vectors but one of them should be 'shifted':

Personally I would prefer doing it using a small program

As a range variable basically is kind of an implicit loop you can do the very same we just did using a for loop with a range variable. Personally I don't like this approach even though it looks nice and compact:
