BOS, while I respect it and use it all the time, is not the end-all, be-all on many subjects and there are errors AND inconsistencies throughout the BOS.

Half-bent

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.
I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.
I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!
I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.

Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?
For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ˝+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ˝+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?
Thanks.

Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.
As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.
This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.
