Not sure of the exact proportion, or where from, but yes several Met
services every hour terminate at Baker Street - it may be close to a
third.


Sure, but I'm presuming that they terminate in the dead-end platforms.
What I'm wondering is whether the two "through" platforms *can* be
used for terminating trains (e.g. if services were temporarily
suspended between Baker St. and Aldgate).


Yes, seen that done, it may still happen when the service thins out in
the evening hours.

However, during the normal daytime timetable the through platforms
can't be left occupied long enough for a terminating train and the
bays are used instead.
