    It's always been okay to hold multiple issues, just no more than one of each issue.

    Principality BS 1 Year Regular Saver Bond (Issue 33) has disappeared from moneyfacts suggesting it will soon go NLA.

    To be replaced by Issue 34 at the same rate (5.5%)

    Assume that "Only one of the current issue per person" means that you can't hold Issues 33 and 34 at the same time?
    You can. 

    They are different issue numbers

    I've opened a Principality Building Society Regular Saver Bond Issue 34 today and funded it. When can I make the second payment? 1st June? Does it matter that 1st June is a Saturday?

    With 12 month RSs that state a maximum amount that can be paid into the account, is it better to open & fund at the end of a calendar month, or the start, to maximise available interest?

    1st June is just fine

    Generally, with pcm accounts open at end of month with an immediate deposit followed by another as early as possible the following month. There are caveats to this as if deposting into some accounts at the start of the following month some will not pay interest/credit until the first working day.

    You can have 33, 34 and whatever else just no more than 1 of each number
