Try 96 hours, its +/-48hrs, so 48 hours on either side of exactly 7 days.

Visually, it looks like this:

+----------|----+----|
kill............5D....7D....9D
...............entire window

On Live, the mob would spawn at the plus sign* ( + ), here the mob can spawn anywhere between the pipes ( | ). Each dash ( - ) represents 12 hours. From this visual representation, you can see that a 7-day mob is "in window" (able to spawn) for ~44% of the 9-day "must spawn" window.

*Barring patches/server restarts, you could show up 7-days later like clockwork and kill the thing again.
Yeah that's even worse then. In the Play Nice Raid post they said it was to promote fairness and competition, it certainly doesn't seem to be doing that. Maybe time to set it back to classic mode.
