I plan on self-studying:
A level Further maths
CP1 & CP2 in 35 days (5 weeks) (30 more days will be spent on past papers & revision)
FS1 in 29 days (4weeks) (30 more days left for past papers or revision)
FD1 in 34 days (5 weeks) (30 more days left for past papers or revision)
There are total of 800 pages in the textbooks. I'd have to complete 16 pages a day which would mean 8 sets of 1 hour study sessions a day (1 page every 30 min)
I got a 9 in GCSE maths last year and have no current responsibilities

If you use Google and Bing search engines, extremely 'effectively,' then you can find almost all the past exam papers with mark schemes and sometimes the examiner's report too.
Also, don't forget to use YouTube with some very interesting channels for A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths as well.

There are past papers for D1
Specimen 2000 and Specimen 2009
November 2002, 2003, 2004
January 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
June 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
International Advanced Levels are exactly the same for most modules and still are even for the most recently written modules:

January 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
June 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
About 50 past papers for D1 Pearson Edexcel alone and OCR, OCR MEI and AQA are very similar too.

I am also doing FS1, FD1, FM1 and FM2 too. Because Mechanics in Further Maths is almost covering half of A-Level Physics.
lol

Are you going to do 200 papers for each module (50 for each exam board)? or is that too much?
Wondering how many past papers most a level maths students do

I will do as many past question papers as I can. I can share them with you too on a Google drive in March once I organise them all.
