I haven't read the Connolly article but just a thought about the manoeuvrability issue:
the easy fix would be to raise the pikes, wheel like any other types of formations, lower the pikes.
Obviously, raising the pikes in the face of the enemy would be quite tricky and might invite disaster. That would be quite the dilemma for a speira commander depending on how far away the enemy is..
ps: I haven't been able to locate a pdf of Connolly's article, if somebody has it and could share it, I'd really appreciate.
