A tournament in a giant map like Sea Switzerland implies many time to play it and we must to think in the tournament dinamics.
In this pairing mode (swiss system) the games of the next round can't start until all the previous round's games were finished.
The experience with "Trinity 5 turns" tournament is good, I think, and some players told me about it. The planning is different and the disclosure order has more importance that a 10 turns game.
I agree. Ten turns is much better under ideal conditions. However, the 5 turns on Trinity proved to be quite interesting and probably helped speed up what was already a long tournament. It does change the gameplay, but that too can be interesting, and when the map is so large, it isn't quite as painful. In fact, having only 5 turns of income can help those players who get a very bad draw (as you don't lose so much). Keeping 3-4 countries undisclosed is not so bad and you attempt to take others instead.
