So here's my guesses (and hopes), based on what we know so far, for the flashback sequences:

6x01 - Aladdin & Jafar

6x02 - The Count of Monte Christo (Most likely) - could potentially involve Killian, but would prefer not.

6x03 - Interaction Between Ella and Snow, some character from the LoUS (which will be focused later, maybe?)

The rest are in no particular order.

6x##1 - J/H and Rumple (Strongly hinted in s5 finale that Hyde may have previously interacted with Rumple)

6x##2 - Killian (Either Naval days, or possibly during his tenure at Neverland, and trips between NL and other lands), could be used to introduce Captain Nemo.

6x##3 - Regina (during the years prior to Leopold's death, but close to that time), used for either the Regina/SEQ storyline, or possibly introducing another LoUS character

6x##4 - Jasmine & Aladdin (possibly 6x04) - predates the flashback for 6x01, and tells the Aladdin Story with the typical Once twist.

6x##5 - Belle - Introduce another LoUS character (For someone that didn't travel much, she ends up meeing quite the array of characters).

The next 2 are hopeful, based on the premise that they will actually pick this story back up this season (

6x##6 - Maleficient - her meeting with "Dragon Daddy", and also possibly pick up on Briar Rose and the "Original" Sleeping Beauty story.

6x##7 - Lily - something from her time in the LWM, not related to Emma, particularly from the period after she met with the Apprentice)

The next is based on Anastasia being the "mystery person" in 6x03.

6x##8 - Ana & Will - What happened after the end of wonderland (Before the epilogue). And this could also include something that releases Jafar and maybe even removes the genie effect.

And this still leaves 11 flashbacks to fill. (More if some of my guesses are wrong). And that could include David, Rumple (though what more they could show of him is a mystery), Emma, even Henry. a lot depends on the directions the show takes. This is a really good list. Since Zelena is still a main, I would assume she also needs a centric, so I would guess either finishing her story with Dorothy and why the time travel spell in Oz didn't work, or her interacting with a LOUS character that shows up. I suppose those could both be in the same flashback actually.
