I see no one has posted about this, so maybe someone can help me complete the grid. I only have a rough idea of the starting letter as all clues are alphabetical. This clue wil begin with S or T:
Bread from Samoa’s stale- mouldy crust taken off with middle of blade (5) (one word is redundant) I guess it is money but cannot parse.
Also please: discover osmium in South America (4)
Same rules apply

The preamble states "Ignoring empty cells" - this is relevant to both those clues.

extra words osmium, mouldy

Samoan currency is TALA - middle of stale + middle of blade - but it says 5 letters - haven't started yet - mouldy would be redundant - don't know if this helps.

I have most of the grid provisionally filled, but would appreciate a bit of help with a few clues that potentially begin with 'R'

Millet's meagre limited supply (5)

Show jousting well before festival (5)

Game horse trying first to safely qualify fir final in Togo (5)

Possible letters I have (some letters may be wrong!):

RA?EE
RE?ES
R????

Forgot to mention they are down clues, and so will have an extra word not needed to solve the clue, and may have one letter to be disregarded - cheers

Finally finished this. A mighty fine and (for me at least) very difficult solve with many devilish clues. Hats off to Kruger for an real challenge.
