I think they did this in a steady session. A friend and I did our two that way. It was not a rote process, the layers were rolled to "lift" the resin and if still rich another dry strip of reinforcement was added. Continuous measurements with templates were used every few layers to ensure the proper contour was obtained.
All this takes time and found that the working life of a West 105/206 was reached before moving on, pretty easily. Heating the work area shortens the working time. 10C drops it by half.
Personally, I don't think you will have to do it in multiple sessions.
Look up flame pretreatment (of the plexiglass) on the West system site. It is easy, won't hurt anything and is very quick. It will enhance the bonding strength. I used g-glex for the first resin layer for this reason. Do the research, and possibly test pieces beforehand. Passing a propane flame over the surface quickly is all that is needed. You can not even feel the temp increase.
