1- If an area is marked to be dug or channeled, then dwarves should not dig it if the square immediately above is accessible and is marked to dug or channeled. "accessible" in this context means normally reachable, or reachable through other squares that are marked to be dug or channeled. Perhaps there might be a check based on the dwarf's spatial sense.

2 - dwarves should prefer to dig squares that have fewest designated dig squares surrounding them. The effect of this is that they will tend to dig out rectangular areas. Alternatively: dwarves can be told to dig out areas, which means digging squares with fewest designated dig squares around them, or to dig exporatively, preferentially digging out squares with the most dig designated squares and undesignated solid blocks surrounding them. This should result in a dendritic dig pattern that will follow the border of the designated areas.

1 sounds like a simple way to limit dwarven stupidity. 2 is a bit more involved, but makes sense.
