Is it sufficient to determine the total annual amount of zakat for past years based on what is most likely, along with specifying the month in which the money reached the nisab in the first year to calculate the hawl (one lunar year) for subsequent years, given the difficulty in determining the amount for each month separately?

It suffices to exercise (independent reasoning) in determining the amount for each past year, as what is required is the on wealth that has completed a full year (hawl). Once that is known, there is no need to specify the amount for each month.
