Firstly with regard to the additional diodes, you want to put them in series, just as they are in the original layout, but just put in more of them. So like you have one facing one direction and two in series facing the other, so just add three and put in five facing one direction and three in the other.
Regarding the time discussion, I feel that so completely Rocket, it's a similar scenario for me and I'm not even close to the level you're at (third year chem major + biochem). I haven't been sleeping well at all lately and it's been killing me slowly, partly because I have four labs a week plus one that I TA so I'm perpetually writing full formal lab reports while also trying to do practice for lecture material and have two seconds to myself or people I care about. Just yesterday (well, this morning I guess) I was up till like 3 or so finishing up a report for physical organic chem, then had to get up at 730 to go to class (what idiot decided to start classes at 830am? and that's every day of the week for me as well which is extra suffering). So basically every day I have 4 hours of class plus four hours of lab, and then I have a further three hours of class beginning at 7pm on Tuesdays... easily the worst thing I've ever done.
So I definitely agree with the time is valuable assessment

even for me building pedals with no commercial interest, it takes me hours to research what and how I want to build, then prepare the enclosure, then wire it up in a way that is neat and also works well. The time is most of the reason I can't build shit during the school year, and also why I'm not around here as much as I'd like to be. I haven't even picked up an instrument (well, a musical one lol) for an appreciable amount of time since September.
And yeah there's a couple of G&Ls I'd like to get my hands on, some of the tones out of those things are monstrous. But then there's the fact that I have no money and play fixed up and modified used instruments (and of course there's nothing wrong with that, I love them) but a guy can dream!
Through all the worry and pain we move on
