how to get the most out of the trub ?

This is related to the following post on similar information:
[ Enormous amount lees/trub - yeast smell during stripping run. ]
.
The setup: HBB, nine gallon setup. The beer I stole using the siphon
was very nice, about 4 gallons. The reset I had to squeeze out through
a paint strainer bag. This output has all the trub in it and about equal
amount of beer. I let both sit over night. The trub beer I was able to
steal it with a siphon, left a bunch of trub maybe 1.5 gallons. I wanted
this run to be perfect so I did not, try to get greedy with working trub.
I ended up with 6 gallons of beer for my trip to the swamp.
Ok here it comes the actual question:
Can the trub be worked ? If so how? and is it worth the time to get a good output.
note: beer from top of ferment, maybe 1/2 cup settled out. Tossed that .
I am thinking a 12 gallon ingredients run might be the best for a 8-9 gallon charge.
Looking at my notes, i am working to 30-33% loss from start to finish over the last 4 ferments HBB.
