Buckboard Bacon Question

Ok, I got the bacon curing. They are smaller boneless pork shoulder roasts. I had planned an 8 day cure. Got it all ready to go, then the family changed the plan for Christmas.
My question is, if I cure 8 days, can I rinse it and then rest it for 2 or 3 days before smoking it?
The directions on Playing with Fire and Smoke state to rest 4 hours to overnight, the longer the better. Will it be ok if I extend the overnight to 2 days?

Wokonmedium,
I've held one 48 hours with no regrets
Little Chef encourages very long "rest" periods.
Go for it; no problemo :woohoo: -
That is a HUGE relief! I don't have to be the black sheep of the family for bailing on Christmas for bacon. Some people just don't understand!
Thank you so very much!
