After rechecking, RH gets 50/50 on second serial and book club, my accounting is bi-annual instead of quarterly (errors on my part - sorry about that), and the book is out in 6 weeks. I don't know where the 2 weeks came from, wishful thinking perhaps? ;)
LOL!
50/50 is standard for book club. Everyone's accounting at Random House is bi-annual. (Everyone I currently publish with or have ever been published with has a bi-annual accounting period; I don't think I've heard of royalties being paid out on any other reporting schedule, but I've been wrong before, and frequently <wry g>.
I'd be interested, though, in knowing what kind of marketing clauses were in the contract; mine was a much more typical first book deal in my genre. I'll be posting the rest of the contract as we go, but if you want to pop in and say (without attribution if you prefer) where yours differed, or which clauses were added, I'm curious.

I assume by bonuses, you mean escalators?
