Thoughts on training partial movements in conjunction with full movement exercises? Does it matter? Any appreciable benefits?

isos over comps? comps are far more cost effective, and taking into account the fact that your test peaks after an hour, doing all isos on legs or back may leave your training sub-par.
still, all out comps will tire your prime movers and won't give enough stimulus to your smaller muscles, such as arms, traps, calves and abs. a mix is better than either end.

Sorry I should have rephrased, I mean doing rack pulls to assist deadlift lockouts etc

Good stuff, in regards to your article about leg curls and calf raises, how do you feel about going the other way with it, say doing RDL's followed immediately by leg curls. Similar issues or does the lack of plantarflexion circumvent the problem?

ah. breaking the comp into partial isos can help greatly. ye. just watch the overall load on the quadratus.

it's not the lack of plantarflexion but rather the lack of origin-to-insertion knee flexion. since RDLs isometrically contract the hams they don't necessarily maintain tension on the gastro.
no real issue here, i'd say.

One last question, is there any movement that can help me in the hole on the squat? It's currently my weakest point especially when I get close to my 1RM %

hanging during squats (i'd only advise using light weight there).
controlling your path of travel as you descend through slow repetitions, to prevent blowback from the shift to concentric phase and make it easier to prevent hyperkyphosis when coming back up.
a lot more focus on hams for this particular too. that means more knee curls pre and post squats.
widen your stance.
learn to do proper hyperlordosis if low-bar squatting, and keeping regular lordosis if high-barring.

the only thing that'll help your form with squats is properly formed squats.
