I was only thinking Hyde Road for as it is at the right end of the route but there is nothing stopping Wigan doing Leigh - Manchester, Manchester - Worsley, Worsley - Manchester, Manchester - Leigh and then doing extra trips to get these extra buses into the right places.

True, although I think that would increase the VR to 5. Certainly, the shorts have something between 25 & 29 minutes stand time at Worsley. There won't be spares at WN so my guess is that 5 MMCs will transfer from HE and they will be replaced (directly or indirectly) by the 4 further Euro 3s expected from MSL. I assume by "extra journeys" you mean interworking with the 8 as it is now. Running extra unregistered comercial journeys is illegal.
