I am not familiar with setting up bumps for those numbers but I will comment on the length of party and number of bumps. In my opinion, making a 15 minute conversation with someone you just met, can be hard. After about 5 - 8 minutes, I imagine the conversation becomes forced simply because the two don't know each other. And, unless your active is exceptional at conversation skills, the conversation can suffer. It is much easier to keep things interesting when a bump occurs. I agree you need another bump.
Regarding bump technique, my advice to the chapter I advised (and it really made a difference) is to make sure that when the bump occurs, that there is interaction between all three women before original active leaves.
For example: Active 1 is talking with pnm about spring events. Active 2 comes up to bump. In some cases, Active 2 just bends over or stands nearby, and Active 1 says, "Well, PNM, I see that Active 2 is here to visit with you. I will let you two get to know each other." Then she disappears. I think this brings everything to a screeching halt and causes the PNM to start all over again. Awkward.
Instead, have Active 2 sit/kneel/join joins them. Active 1 can say "Oh hi Active 2, this is Patty PNM. She and I were just talking about Greek Sing and all those fun nights we spent practicing the songs." Active 2 comments and Active 1 responds and then leaves. Then, when Active 1 leaves, Active 2 continues talking about spring events. The conversation keeps flowing because it was, very briefly, a dialogue between all three.
This really worked with my chapter and might be something to think about for yours.
