I agree with you on this part. I was trying to give a worse case scenario, and keep it simple. I believe it would be much less than 20% also.

How would you estimate the life of the membranes running in series? 1St, 2nd, 3rd,

I do no one guy who has been set up like this 2 membranes for 3-4 years with the same membrane last I checked.
