Decided not to waste the dead specimens and documented the size for 3i H. caboverdensis:
#1 - 20mm
#2 - 22mm
And a quick size comparison - #2 vs. its 2i exuvia

Bit of updated stats:
2i on premolt : 6 Molted to 3i : 12 Lost scorpions: 4
Scorpion-mum:
116 days from first brood, she dropped a bunch of undeveloped embryos last night. No babies this time. I'll monitor her temps more strickly for the next months and make sure she gets enough food, and hope for a good litter in 3 or 4 months.

I think I'll go back to my old heating scheme, it seemed to work well for her first brood.. I was then keeping her at 32 C (+- 2 degrees), 24/7.
Now she's got the same daytime temps but for 12h daily, because she's sharing a heating element with one of my geckos.
Looks like she still haven't got her appetite back.

I've never had that big difference in molting times among individuals from a single brood.
First ones molted to 3i in 76 days Last ones took 122 days
I can't say they were equally fed though, and I didn't keep to a strict feeding schedule so I attribute that as being the cause.
