Now about this "conservative lens life policy," does that mean that a "monthly" lens might be safely worn for a little longer, say five weeks, in an emergency?

I don't want to comment on specific cases because I don't know your eyes. I think I could get away with that when I was wearing Biofinity and using a Peroxide Cleaning/Disinfectant regime, e.g. if I had forgotten to pack spare Biofinity lenses whilst away from home on an extended business trip, vacation, etc. I didn't do that as a habit, but stuck to the suggested monthly regime.
If you don't have specific problems with protein build up or allergies, you would probably be OK, but really it is something you should discuss with your eye care professional (ECP). I don't see any problem challenging or questioning anything the ECP says, so that you fully understand and agree with what they are saying and that it makes sense. In this case, what would/could happen if you wore the lenses 25% longer.
