Asalam Alykum WrWb,

Brother do not despair, there are many people who miss their salat for years. Realizing and making an effort to make them up is an intention loved by Allah SWT.

It is "THE" most crucial thing. The act of making up salat has a higher rank than praying nafals or other nafal-oriented worship.

To answer your questions

Do not go with the pattern you described with finishing off one and starting the other.

Yes, shuyukh also recommend making up missed salat rather than praying tahajud at night.

1. calculate your missed prayers
2. Allot the prayers in time you can pray

The best method is to pray 1 missed prayer with every fard prayer of the day. So for e.g you pray Fajar on the day, after finishing, complete 1 extra fajr and so on for the 5 daily prayers. At the end of the week, youl have prayed 35 missed prayer. Which means in a months time, you are completing 1 month of missed prayer.

You stopped at 14 and re started at 21. Thats only 7 years. Hence if you continue to pray one missed prayer with every prayer of the day, youl be finishing off your missed prayers when you turn 29.

On the practical side, this is very hard if you are a student or if you work etc. So you could push 3 days or prayer on the weekends and 4 days of the prayer on the weekdays.

Work out something that fits you. Starting with low number is better, when you get consistent, then you can increase it. Pace your momentum and take it slow initially.

May Allah SWT reward your for the intention.

Jazak Allah khair

Wsalam.
