don't remember reading that the formula had been tweaked at all and besides , Hermione 
found the polyjuice formula in a very old book, 'Moste Potente Potions' and I am sure, if it 
was possible, it would have been tweaked long before the time HP universe is set in.

Pippin:
Possibly the hourly dosage is the most efficient -- an important consideration for
Hermione in CoS and Crouch Jr in GoF, both of whom were relying on stolen 
ingredients. But I don't think anyone ever says that a larger dose wouldn't last
longer.
