The pattern could be at an arterial, arteriole or capillary level.

There are plenty of examples of branched patterns in organisms.

But are there any examples of a linear network, e.g. vessels running in parallel, at least at the macro level?

I found something kind of close to what your second diagroom looks like. The vessels they are fairly close to parallel. But I don't know exactly if this what you wanted, or if i misunderstood you.

never the less here's the pic:

is this something close to what your saying? I resized the pic, but it was the only one I found that had a similar blood vessel structure to your second diagram, but only at the arms and legs, and not at the organs. sorry.
