How long wil low wines keep?

Haven't built a still yet, but I've a question that I can't find an answer to... If anybody can help me to understand, I'd be grateful.
If I'm using a pot still to make whiskey, and I make a stripping run with typical results (30%-45%?)
How long can I store the low wine - will it spoil - before making a spirit run?
The reason I ask is that I might want to produce several batches of wash - more than my boiler can handle at one shot - and do more than one stripping run in a session. Then, by collecting several stripping runs, I'd have several batches of low wines to run in a spirit run during a single (different) session.
Theoretically, I think, by adding the feints to the next batch of low wines, and by keeping adding each batch of low wines in succession during a distilling session, I should be able to increase the yield of the spirit run, as well as create a fairly consistent product. No?
