Oh goodness. I've no idea with these. With seven men back, 100 pips of timing doesn't look enough, so my instinct is to enter on the 22 so that it's at the edge of the prime and has the greatest chance to recirculate. With the 2 we could banana split 5/3* in attempt to recirculate more men, or split one of the midpoints for the same purpose. I'd choose 5/3* because it recirculate more pips when it works, and as harder for Blue to avoid hitting.

The other idea is to enter on the 22 and play 13/10*. This would be a tactical move to prevent Blue completing the full prime with a 6. White's backgame will be lot easier to play against a 5 prime.

QF makes me think that the latter play could be right, but OTB I'd probably go with b/22 5/2*.
