You can pick each reward selection one time per 20 hours regardless of which arc you run. So sadly you cannot just run all the arcs for shots at the component choice on every arc. It seriously puts a throttle on actually filling out your incarnate abilities.

Thanks, that's a good way to look at it: the timer is based on the selection of a particular reward. I was overcomplicating the issue.
Hmmm...just thought of a follow-up question. Let's say I have a lot of time to play today and not much time to play tomorrow, so I play long enough to make the reward table appear a second time within a day. I want to choose the same reward each time the table appears. If I log off with the reward table on my screen and wait 20 hours, will it still be there waiting for me when I log back in, allowing me to choose any reward because the timer has expired?

I believe this trick actually works, yes. I seem to recall hearing about someone pulling it with the SSAs. Don't quote me, though, I might be crazy or misremembering.|

Also, note that the 10 thread and random Astral/Empyrean Merit rewards are still decent, if you feel like running multiple arcs in one day. Empyreans in particular can be slowly saved up for Rare/Very Rare components, especially if you also use Taskmaster Gabriel to get the guaranteed 2/week for running all the arcs.
Yes, leaving the reward window up until the timer expires works. It allows you to choose a reward and resets the timer so you'll have 20 hours from that point to wait for another choice.
