I don't think it looks good to combine noun and adjective into one sense.

Tempted to split the "n" and "adj-no" into different senses.

i believe an additional meaning for 最後 could also be "latest" or "most 
recent" instead of just "last" --  for example, in the phrase 最後のニュースを見
ました (which i just read in a book).  the subject just got home from work, 
and it seems to make more sense that he watched "the latest news" rather 
than "the last news".  i could be wrong, so i'll let you decide.
