Neo 2.2 Capacitor And Resistor

Yes, definitely. The old maxim YMMV applies here:

Your

Mileage

May

Vary.

Basically you COULD stretch things out, but then again you might be unlucky, have a particularly crap laser, and burn it in a week. Who knows?

If it were me, instead of spending $10 on parts and an hour fiddling with it, I'd spend $25 on a nice shiny new chip (Apple, for example) and an hour fiddling with it... since lasers are pricey.
