If you really want to be flexible and train at your own pace (even if that is just seven days) go to a FBO flight school, grab an instructor, and go fly your butt off. Just get the checkride scheduled in advance. I did that for some students a few times.

edit: I just checked ATP's website and I see that they no longer offer individual ratings. I know they used to. Might try calling them and talking to Jim. You might be able to work something out. Big upside is that it is all twin.
Accelerated is not bad, but if they are super-accelerated to 7 days, that is when they will get a bit hairy. I did my CFI-CFII in a month.
