I am assuming that the NAND, serial flash, would have a fixed blocked size with a linked list of contiguous blocks. 

You are correct in your consideration of fixed block size......There is a physical make up,  that connects every thing together, you could consider the physical serial properties of NAND as linked through electrical circuits....this could also be considered a contiguous physical condition .

 However, for the most part ... link list and contiguous blocks refers to an operating system and its ability. You can organize this flash in a link list(non contiguous) fashion or contiguously....

And that NOR,  parallel flash would have a dynamic allocation of flash space with pointers to any available space to fix the size of the memory needed."

Again, there is some what of a confusion....allocation of flash and pointers  is  a condition of an OS and how it manages through the row/column attributes of NOR.  You can organize this flash in a link list(non contiguous) fashion or contiguously....

 

For the points posted, my comments are of the physical properties of the different flash.
