Well, here are some ideas that you might want to consider.  As far as documentation goes, I have no idea where to find payment module info.  I'm sure you checked the usual places, wiki.oscommerce.com, oscdox etc.  For you first option, when they select how many months they want to pay over, is it going to automatically bill them in those specified increments?  Is it going to bill them right then or are you going to manually bill them monthly off line?  I think the way I would approach it is to either have one separate payment modual for each monthly selection or try and implement a dropdown menu on the payment page so they can pick how long.  You could then just divide the total by the specified months and show the amounts.  If you are going to be processing credit cards using a payment processor, I would just hack their payment mods.  But from you're post it doesn't say how you are going to be processing them, only that none of the existing ones will work.  Maybe a little mo
 re info will get some other people in here to help.  As far as the second one goes, you could just hardcode in the 25 + 1.5 into the payment module.  What isn't known is why the existing modules won't work, and how are you going to be accepting payments.  Hopefully someone else can jump in here also and give some more info.
