You're doing way more than necessary here.Three or four exercises, three sets or so per exercise- Right now, you're doing 320 reps for chest, for example. There's no point in it- All you're in the gym for is to spark some muscle growth. Once you've provided that spark, you've done your job- Continuing to do more work after that is just burning calories that could be being used to build new muscle.

For legs, here's some exercises you can do-
Dumbbell squats, dumbbell lunges for quads
Stiff leg deadlifts for hamstrings
Dumbbell calf raises for calves
 
Forearms- Forearm curls, reverse forearm curls, farmer's walk, hold two plates between thumb and forefinger, behind the back forearm curls
 
Abs- Hanging knee/leg raises (I'm sure you can find something to hang from, or get one of those doorframe pullup bars) weighted crunches- Also keep in mind that deadlifts and other big compound lifts will work the abs too.

Sure having more equipment would be nice, but you'll be fine with what you got im sure. Youve come up with alot of exercises.

For calvs, you could find some steps, or an incline and do dumbell calv raises. also if you do lunges, when you come down on your foot keep it on your toes to work your calvs more.

Hamstrings, sure leg extension is probably what you want here. But your getting plenty of hamstring exercise from squats, lunges and your stiff legged deadlifts.

Abs, I know you said all you have acess too, but I highly recommend getting ahold of one of those exercise balls. Not only are crunchs more effective on the balls, but you can also add in leg lifts with the ball to target lower abs. You can even do stabalizing push ups, and a ton of other exercises abs and more.

if not you can just do the classic sit up, or the classic crunch.

whats been reccommended seems really good to me.
 
remember that you dont have to do all these exercises every week though.
 
for example, while working your triceps in the first 4 weeks do Close grip bench press, Skull crushers and Tricep extensions.
 
Then 4 weeks later, perform Behind the head extensions, French press and tricep kickbacks.
 
This will ensure your growth is continuous.
 
If you're still not sure if you're over doing things, try timing yourself and aim for around 30- 40 minutes per session.
