As I understand it, the rotation was based on combat strength of the unit and not a set schedule or time.
In one month, (08 August 1940 thru 08 September 1940) 16 squadrons from 11 Group were rotated out of the fight and replaced by fresh ones. That would show up over a month period as up to 32 squadrons using 100 Octane fuel.
