HC actually did say it and this has been mentioned many times in the past. If one is short on time then the Ritual can be done with 3x each letter or even 1x each letter. If there are privacy issues then the letters can even be whispered or vibrated mentally with strong intent. All of these things do have an effect and work. This should not be invalidated as some people have situations where they just cant do them in the normal way.
However, these things should only be done if one has no other option. They shouldnt be done like this just for convenience or out of laziness. For example instead of doing 6 normal ones and then 6 "shortened" ones, OP would be better off just doing 7 or 8 normal ones instead. The shortened ones arent "bad" by any means, but they are arguably less effective than just doing 1 or 2 more normal ones in this case.
That being said, everyone is free to experiment with this and doing these "shortened" ones in addition is always still better than not doing anything extra at all.
