To be honest, I don't understand the timing values from datasheets either. I would just assume that if the DC current of IN-4 is 2,5-3mA, and IN-8 - 2,5-3,5mA, then in 6 digit multiplex 5mA in pulse on each of them wouldn't hurt them at all - that is still 1/3 of nominal power dissipation of a DC driven tube at minimum specified current. I bet increasing this to 7,5mA in pulse (1/2 power dissipation) would be still safe, but the glow might start changing colour a bit - I've noticed more blueish glow on overdriven tubes while testing my LC-531s, which due to poor quality have higher striking voltages, so I was doodling with them alot.
