What we did for a long time over that same week actually was do them in a row. That allows them to get in a rhythm and be comfortable and more confident for the days after the lessons.
I agree with papafu but if he wants easier he should basically stay away from the Chutes because those are the toughest of the double blacks, depending on what he is able to do the rest just aren't as steep/narrow.
