Sounds like you better start buying 12 exposure rolls or roll your own!
Seriously, film is suppossed to be one of the least expensive parts of our
camera system, so maybe you need to relax on it. Is the value of the
quality image you might lose worth the savings you have buy not wasting the
rest of the roll and processing in a timely manner.
I'd start worrying about condensation and such myself, and higher
possibility of scatching with the film going through the cannister and
camera a few extra times!
Are you trying to stretch out your AFGA APX25 as long as possible?
