Are these combinations of tense and quantity possible?

I have done all my homework = There is no more homework to be done.

I am tired because i have done a lot of homework. "a lot" is a quantity, which requires present perfect simple.

Is it possible to say: I am tired because I have done all my homework? Can "all" be seen as a quantity or does "have done all" always mean that there is nothing left to do?

I am tired because I have been doing my homework. It is the activity that made me tired, so present perfect continuous is used. Can the continuous be used with a quantity, for example: I am tired because I have been doing all my homework, or lots of homework?
