PBS has line properties setup specifically for large group of block days off. You only need to be senior enough to hold a full line. You use line properties: max days off, max block days, waive default max work block, waive max block time in 7. Then you select 8 or so days off, i did the ones with the lowest preassignments. Stagger those through 4 layers. Make sure to check include standups.
The PBS helpline people walked me through the procedure and it worked to perfection. oh and at the time I was only 3 months off IOE. I got 9 days off in a row. Gave away one standup which then gave me 12 days off. The only downside was I worked like 10 days in row at the end of the month.
