we have done this and it is working without a problem.
we blocked all comunications between shema master and other nodes, then we extended shema via cisco tool (ad....exe) on Unity DVD, checked if master shema is extended and then unblock links to other nodes in domain (DCs).
Immediately after it, we continued with Unity/AD integration without waiting any longer because you can wait as long as you want but you'll never know... :):):)
ok, you will know, but we had about 50 DCs... so you should check everyone and that what i meant ...you'll never know (untill you check all) :)... and who will do that? ;)
 
now, seriously, the basic thing is to have functional replications going on without a problems before you update shema on the master and when you unblock communication with other DCs, master will replicate when the time comes...
so, in this scenario, the risk is the same as with "7 days waiting"...
