(understood: first and second *group* of bass figures)

That would be ok, although when you have multiple figures on a note
allowing a bit more space for them can be good sometimes. You could
always move the whole group along by inserting a short duration note
with no figure in the bass figures if there was a particular case where
this seemed obtrusive (hacky of course).

So I think you could validly object that you didn't like them being
treated differently. But that wouldn't justify sticking with the
horrible effect you see when there is a single figure/lone accidental.
