do it

1. the course is designed to be 4 weeks and
2. the spare tablet won't keep til next year.

Don't forget you are also killing mites that may have been hiding in capped cells and due to hatch on week 4, so the full course is needed.

And don't they suggest you leave the last strip in an extra couple of days?
