Mob has spawn time of 90 hours with 10 hour variance. At 100 hours everyone will leave and come back for the (second) late window spawn (which was your initial concern).
You're just putting your initial problem off another 24 (48, 72, etc) hours and hoping people get tired of coming back for the repeated late windows. So now instead of only having one opportunity for a late window sock you're allowing for multiple ones, which I'm sure won't make the already uncooperative guilds more antsy and inclined to ensure they are the ones that get the mob after waiting at the altar a couple times.

Not exactly. The mob would have an equal chance at spawning at ANY point during each independent window extension. IE: during window one it could spawn at 1 second in or at the last second.
Yes, there are "blocks" where a staggered sock is, in theory, possible. However, the idea is that the % chance at an extension is conducted at some point when the timer is between 75% and 85% completion, AND the first timer extension has a 50% chance of occurring (or tweaked to some reasonable % so as to make socking unprofitable). These combined raised the level of uncertainty to a point so that socking becomes immensely unprofitable.

This 2nd 12 hour check may repeat indefinitely.
