I doubt they will see u as an overstayer.
According to your immigration history as u said here, they are aware of the little gaps you had in between one status to another.. They granted you permission to get married and the extension.
I think you will be okay.
If you still av any of those correspondences from HO during those gaps, u can sort them out ready, incase they write you for additional information or correspondence regarding your gaps. Or prove of presence in the UK at those periods.
Talking from my experience during my citizenship application. I overstayed my working visa for about 16mnths and later was granted EU family member residence card and later PR card, thru my EU wife.
During the 16mnths gap av been living with my EU wife and still till today.
In the application form , if u remember they asked if u ever breach UK immigration law at any time, I put NO. ( this worry me alot after I submitted my application, but I kept the believe to be successful)
By the fifth month, they wrote me regarding my overstaying and on good character, which it could be refused on that, so i was asked to produce some additional docs and give them more informations regarding that periods.
They asked if I was working that period, receiving benefits, studying ( i said NO to all )
Where I was living at that period ( I said with my EU wife, and I provided evidences to cover all the months, joint bills, tenancy agreements etc)
I submitted all I can, and wrote covering letter, my wife wrote letter too.
Following week my approval came.
So if they need any further information, they should ask you.. Don't panic bro.
But looking at your history, seems u av done the right thing to the last stage.
My history is more complicated than yours..and I still got approval.
I wish you all the best, and i hope this gives you more assurance.
