How many past papers do you have access to? If you wanted to spread them out then maybe schedule one every few weeks and rotate between subjects?

I suppose the other question is, do you feel your exam technique needs improvement? If so, it might be worth trying one or two papers now so you can see what you need to improve on and then practice that in the meantime, before trying other papers in a month or so.

So you could in theory do one per subject per month and have some left over. Perhaps try spacing them out and seeing how you feel?
