>>Would the small lens approach perhaps involve an array of them? That would present interesting but doable challenges, seems to me.<<

Several people have proposed arrays of electron beams as a way to achieve e-beam resolution with better throughput. ETEC (now part of Applied Materials) is one company in that space, and lots of universities are doing research.

Arrays of optical lenses would be very difficult to implement because the lenses themselves are too big relative to the features being printed. Multiple columns would be likely to get in each others' way.
