What is happening now is BiglyBT will download until there is just about nothing left of hard disk space. Is there an option so that when a certain amount of hard disk space is left, BiglyBT will rather start filling in what it can of other files whose space is fully allocated in the hard drive but are still missing pieces?

There isn't an option to do that. Use "sparse" files, then there won't be any such allocated-but-not-filled-in space.

I am using sparse files. The thing is, then when BiglyBT can't write to the disk, then the torrent is stuck with an error, and then I have to recheck the whole torrent when disk space is free because it couldn't write to disk.

I'm seeing that, in my torrent, that files that have pieces at the beginning, end, and middle, don't start to get filled in. When I right-click on them in Windows Explorer, I see that, with some of them, that they are the same size on disk as they are in size, so that means that it should be possible to fill them in even though my hard drive has a little over 1 GB left of space. With so little disk space left, I see BiglyBT starting other torrents, using up disk space on the hard drive.
