I'd like to pay it back in full, it'd just leave me stretched, and at the mercy of the companies I've worked for over the past few months, who haven't yet paid up. I'd rather have a little leeway

Frankly, your business suppliers are not their problem.

It's not their job to help with your cash flow situation.

and my question is - is this reasonable

No, it's not reasonable at all.

I would pay it off in full. £2500 is a lot of extra money not to notice regardless of whether you read your statements (my mum does not read her statements usually but she would notice an extra £2500 to her balance).

Just spoke with them, they're quite happy for me to repay it over the next three months (my suggestion). I told them that I'll pay it faster, if I'm able.

I think that's perfectly reasonable. It wasn't my error, it was theirs, compounded by taking eight months to notice it.
