Clearing large pockets effectively and rapidly

I have these two arches for a doorway that are milled in foam. they have a pocket in one that I used adaptive clearing to pocket. the router is cutting coming down the y  but not back up. I know why and I was wondering if there's another method I can use to speed up this pocket. could a "box pattern" from center be used so as to have the least amount of air cutting? I don't know the proper term for "box pattern" but the only time ive needed to run a pattern like that was when surfacing with a surfacing bit. hopefully someone will know what im trying to get at please see attached code.  thanks in advance for your time.  jonny

Have you tried a simple 2D Pocket, same feeds/speeds/Multiple depths is about 40 minutes less time 🙂
