Though it was possible to piggyback three Class Three probes on a Class Eight, it would have several adverse effects - the Class Eight would be effectively blind until the other probes had been disengaged, it would be unable to maneuver beyond its initial programmed course, and the energy drain would significantly reduce range and operational duration. The latter two issues could be overcome by launching the probes in a dormant state, only coming online after a predetermined amount of time, but that would carry its own risks.

Depending on how close the probes wanted to get, and whether or not the probe needed to land on a surface or coast through space, there was no specific day that would be any better than the other. The closer the probe got to the base, however, the easier it would be to detect and the more it would have to navigate around other objects in the system - something that would be far more difficult if the conglomeration of probes being recommended was deployed.
