"The only difference is is in the percentage of isotopes that are converted from U-235 to U238. In short, all you have to do is run the centrifuges for a longer period of time."
Ummm, no. The centrifuges separate the isotopes, they do not "convert" anything. The centrifuges are cascaded in order to achieve an ever higher concentration of U-235 (the desired fissionable end product), until bomb-grade material is achieved in sufficient quantity.
