Maybe Ha'Jara should say "follow me" more often, instead of "go get them".
I'm still learning what others already know. Posting my discoveries will help me remember them myself. Still, narrow places seem to be more common in the converted DS1 maps than in DS2's own.
Rampage-ready formation is 3x3: #2 party member front left, #3 front right, gap between them. #1 directly behind that gap i.e. middle of the square. Back row from left to right #6, #4, #5.
(I'm taking the standard spacing as my yardstick for 1 meter - if I'm wrong then mentally edit what follows accordingly.)
Tell them to move onto a bridge/onto a ledge/into a passage less than 3 meters wide, and the game moves those of them that it can make fit, sometimes including #1, sometimes not. Follow mode formation is 2x3 column so will fit into narrower space but if #1 won't fit then nobody moves. To make #1 fit into 2 meters exactly, click extreme right: #1 goes to 0.5 meters left of spot clicked and #2 to 1.5 meters.
The spot where one must click to get party onto a narrow bridge in follow mode, is the best place to click to get #1 on in rampage mode.
For a single-file bridge, the only way I know to get party members onto it (as opposed to all the way across to the other side in one go) is to attack-click a fortuitously-placed monster. Which can be one on the far side but within bow or spell range from mid-bridge.
