I don't think that it is imperative that you go by a specific schedule, but rather gauge the snake and situation.
But I can see the benefit of a schedule as well, in that it is helpful for you the owner.
In the wild, though, they eat when they can.
I personally think that with your 400g BP you can switch to the 7-day "schedule" whenever you like. If yours is a good eater then I'm sure it won't matter much to her anyhow she should eat just the same (me thinks)!

Matilda is an extremely good eater, but she is also very undersized and devours her food the second she sees it. She is a rescue and is almost a year and half old (according to the previous owner) who (even though she was 300g when we got her) was feeding her small mice every 2 weeks. I will finish up with her food now and when I order the small rats, I will switch her to once a week (as long as she is still gaining weight). Phred is obviously a baby (only about 3 months old give or take) and also a rescue who was at 66g when rescued and very dehydrated and wrinkly. Doing well now though (except for the stuck eye caps from his first and only shed).
