Seems to me that unless you stopped driving the car after taking each sample you are still at risk. Since we have seen failures in a range for 500 miles to 5,000 miles that would be a shit load of tests with no use of the car for longer periods than it was driven before you ever got a verdict one way or another. It would make a great lawn ornament in between tests though.
There's always a path to quick turnaround. Just costs more to get to the head of the line. If the journals are starving, the damage starts happening right away. I'd consider waiting for the first result to catch the worst case. Then I'd do one a week with lots of high-rpm (ok, normal for me) use. Depends on how many miles/day.
