Sorry I can't speak from experience, but I'm fairly sure that scrubber duration is NOT linear to the amount of scrubber material. At least for small amounts. This is because you're not interested in when the majority of CO2 doesn't get through, but when no CO2 gets through. (Or none critical). If you think why you might get a breakthrough at depth when you might not shallow then hopefully it will become clear.

So I would guess that it is less than half. How much less is your guess.

Personally I would just get a full fill. But that's the deal I made with myself when I went CCR. If in doubt - play safe.
