Yang,
The problem with tuplets on the last beat is usually solved by one of two methods. The first is to uncheck "Check for extra notes" in the Simple Entry options, which lets you overfill the measure before applying the tuplet tool.
The second, (which I find is better,) is to enter the first note, define the tuplet, and enter the remaining notes. So, in the first example, I entered a sixteenth note, tapped opt-9 to go into the tuplet definition frame, and entered 3-current in the space of 2-current. OK returns you to the score, with the first note and 2 rests, under the tuplet bracket. Just enter the last two notes. I did the same thing with the third example, but I entered 5 in the space of 4.
(I couldn't open your link, so I don't know what you meant by "eighteenths.")
