<p>I'll add a bit more into your formula:</p>

<p>S + time + at... + from... + with(someone) + with/using(tool) + to/for(someone) + [把(O)] + V + 了/过/着 + O + 了 + 吗/呢/吧/啊</p>

<p>In Chinese:</p>

<p>主 + 时 + 在 + 从 + 跟/和 + 用/坐 + 给 + [把(宾)] + 动 + 了/过/着 + 宾 + 了 + 吗/呢/吧/啊</p>

<p>That's what I've figured out so far. It might not be that accurate.</p>

<p>the syntax is S V O, 
one can expand this to include phrases about time and place:
S t p V O.</p>

<p>What else can be this SVO structure expanded with?
How would a maximal structure look like that incorporates all or almost all phrases possible?</p>

Would like to hear about the purpose of the question so that discussion may be easier. 
Otherwise it sounds like a math question. (:

I have confidence building simple sentences in Chinese, like those whch only are made of S V O.
for instance: 
可爱的熟女(S) 亲吻了(V) 爱豆腐的青蛙 (O) 
the sentence does not make much sense, but it is grammatically correct, 
i could expand this sentence for a time and place phrase:
可爱的熟女(S) 每天(timePhr.) 在井上(PlacePhr.) 亲吻了(V) 爱豆腐的青蛙 (O)
so far i am confident, but there exist much more phrases than s,v,o,time and place and i am absolutely clueless where to put them within the sentence structure.

I'll add a bit more into your formula:

S + time + at... + from... + with(someone) + with/using(tool) + to/for(someone) + [把(O)] + V + 了/过/着 + O + 了 + 吗/呢/吧/啊

In Chinese:

主 + 时 + 在 + 从 + 跟/和 + 用/坐 + 给 + [把(宾)] + 动 + 了/过/着 + 宾 + 了 + 吗/呢/吧/啊

That's what I've figured out so far. It might not be that accurate.
