What if I had it cutting in very small increments (as suggested)? So small that the machining time was somewhere between 3 and 6 hours.

Say the tool path is 50" in total (lots of passes, your using a small cutter) and youll probably cut at 2"/min @ 4 thou depth, and your total depth is 3/8"
50/2 = 25min tool path
94 passes to reach depth
25 x 94 ~ 39 hours machine time
Youll have to see what speeds it will comfortably cut at, but i should imagine my estimates are not too bad.
