Control responses are very old fashioned and have fallen out of favour in the past few decades. These are these traditional responses:

 

 

2♦= 0 or 1

2♥ = 2

2♠/2NT = 3, differentiated by 3K or an A and a K

3♣ = 4 or more. I guess you could keep going up as you do, but

 

The trouble with controls is that they get in opener’s way. Getting to 7NT in 3 bids is fun, but it’s not really necessary. There is plenty of room between 2♣ and 7NT.

2♦=0 or 1 control

2♥=2 controls

2♠=3 controls

2NT=4 controls

3♣=5 or more controls.

3♦/3♥=essentially a weak 2 bid in the next higher suit, GF.

 

But as Vampyr says, they've fallen out of favor these days.

Your sentence isn't proper English but it looks like your reserving 2♥/2♠ for future use by opener.

Opener can no more bid 2♥ after 2NT then after 2♥.

So you're using up bidding space for no reason if I had read your post correctly.

Recently, on BridgeWinners, David Burn suggests that 2♣ - 3♣ could show a weak balanced hand.
