question: how do I connect a seventh (whether natural or artificial) that can neither stay still nor descend by degree (to make a long story short in my case, you either take it by a descending second leap or go up by degree...)
now that I think about it, I could use the sevenths in incomplete form, no, to solve the problem?

It depends a lot on the context; if you use artificial sevenths, it means you are a bit advanced with harmony, so the leap on the seventh is not a big problem... perhaps there is still the need to resolve it and make it descend
Connect to "what"? And does the "what" arrive before or after?
successions of sevenths mainly on preparatory degrees one after another... so either the sevenths stay still or they descend by degree since they are still in a purely academic harmony, but in certain situations it is impossible for me; perhaps the only way is to double the bass and omit the fifth.... if some examples are needed, I will upload them from Delachi where he gave me the low-numbered problems..
ps. the leap is a descending third, not a second, my mistake
uploaded the image now even though it is the entire page

They are exercises on seventh progressions, you should alternate complete chords with incomplete chords (omitting for example the fifth)... prepare the seventh of the following chord and, during the movement of the parts, move as few notes as possible.
