If I lose just those few, I figure perhaps I could have some success with a little larger plants and a different approach a week or so later. What do you think?

I usually do enough for one whole humidity chamber which is just a clear plastic storage box from Walmart with a clear lid and clasp closure. Most of the chambers I have will hold between 24 and 28 plants so that they are held in place by each other so if I move the chamber I don't have to worry about them falling over and ruining the graft. The first week I graft I will usually do between 50 and 100 grafts and sometimes even more. When it comes to plant out time I just give away the extras. I try to do several of each combination because I never know where the failures will be. With my very favorite varieties I usually do at least 5 each of them so that I will have multiple plants to set out of those varieties.
