BIKEs rider is a HUBB member. I rode with him for a short while in Tajikistan. I can certainly vouch for him not being flat out on the road all the time!
Personally I think you're asking the wrong question. We've all done long days to make it to something or get out of a country before our visa expires. Conversely we've all stayed put somewhere for a week or more while getting repairs done etc. Point is you can ride the big days at times to make up the necessary ground.
I rode from Mongolia to France in 2 weeks on a return trip. It took me 3 1/2 months to get out there in the first place!
My two cents: Decide what personally interests you in each country and allow time for it. You can always ride long days in between.
Safe riding!
