Naive question(s) here. The rear dropout screws for the straggler -- read that some people don't use them? This true?

Second question, I seem to have lost 1 of the springs, know where I can find a replacement?

Biro?

I use them to effectively block off the horizontal section of the dropout, so the axle just slots in vertically. I may well be doing it wrong though!

Yeah I have 650b x 42 tyres, there is lots of space in the horizontal part of the dropout, which suggests I do need it. Which also probably means I should look harder on the shed floor for that spring or try to find a new one. Blergh.
