Question: What to do with float filling a full float page by themselves ?
Answer: Add [tb] option, to state that it should not be in a float page. Hence text will fill the remaining of the page

Question: Why can each bottom float appear together at end of chapter ?
Answer: The first such float is greater than \floatpagefraction, and thus can never be printed until there is no more text
