Here is a real spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There are only four metal plates that need to have weight on them. These are the four that are closest to the doors that you want to open. Two on the right and two on the left.
Corral stones on top of the two on the right, then corral a stone on the metal plate second closest to the door on the left. Then, when you STAND on top of the plate closest to the door on the left, the door opens (because the weight on the fourth plate satisfies the door opening requirements). Get ready, aim your character at the door and then run through the open door as it closes. As the door closes, the next door opens, so you can just waltz through at your leisure.
Hope this is clear enough to those who have been there.
I am not sure of how to solve the problem you describe because I have never been in that situation. If you have the guts, you can delete the Teledahn book from Relto and start the Age again.

More Hint/spoiler:
I exaclty did it the way auntieshoque describes here. I just now checked: switches that are flipped 'up' are the plates that need a load!
I didn't notice automatisme in the doors as dadguy describes above. Once out of the first prison I had to flip an arbitrary switch to get the former door closed and the next opened ... so, when I had to go through the same way again I had to look through the door at the panel how I had set them the last time and had to use that as new code to pass the way all again....

when I had to go through the same way again I had to look through the door at the panel how I had set them the last time and had to use that as new code to pass the way all again.... You know, that would make a lot of sense! I wonder if I solved it the second time by luck, because I hadn't thought of this. This is interesting. Have I got this right? To get through the second door you have to permanently trip one more lever. So the solution if you go through a second time is to only weight down three of the panels. So if you blow it four times before you get to the next journey cloth, are you permanently locked out? By the way, did you go through and walk on all the panels the second time through in order to "reset" them? I did this just in case, but I have no idea if it was necessary.

Wow- thanks everyone for posting!
When I went to bed I layed there thinking about this puzzle as I was trying to sleep- and I figured it out!
I can not think of another game where you, as the player, actually re-set the puzzle. I've played games where the puzzle is re-set randomly, but never by me.
As footprint mentioned, when the switches are flipped up that means that there needs to be a weight on the metal plate on the floor. So since I had left them with ALL of them up, I had to then go around and put a weight on all of them. It didn't really matter which weight, I tested by jumping and if it didn't make a sound it was ok.
Then it opened the doors. So I went up to the switches and this time I put only the very left one down. And that opened the new door and I was able to go out. I left the game to come here and share what I had figured out.
Now when I go back I should be able to just knock off the weight of the one by the right door, and that should open the doors again for me.
And then I will put the switch down for the one by the left door and next time I will have to just knock off the weight of that metal plate. And then as footprint said, I would keep putting down a switch and removing that weight to get back in until I had to do it in the reverse order.
But hopefully I won't have to be coming back that many times!!

Real Spoiler down below:
. . . . . . . ..
.. . . . . . . .
If you have missed the map on some desk then it's a bit difficult.
If you have only the leftmost switch UP, you will have to put weight only on the fifth plate when counting clockwise.
Clockwise seen the map of the cave was 2, 6, 3, 5, 1, 7, 4 for the numbers belonging to the plates. So the fifth is controlled by switch one (leftmost) and the rightmost switch (7th) is controlling the 6th plate when counting clockwise.
It's a real spoiler now
