Open the joints a few millimetres as bricks not guaranteed to be same size or failing that you will have to have a threequater brick and half starting in one end

Broken bond can be done as in your first answer.
Alternatively you can set out dry bond with standard ends ie half bond and increase or decrease joint size.
If you find the need to still use a three quarter brick then make sure to keep it the same size and you keep your three quarter crossing over on each course thus maintaining half bond thru the length of wall.
It is always better to avoid that option if you can by as in first answer open up or close up your perp joints.
Good luck
