I think the biggest piece in our brake systems is the ABS block as it must hold 6 oz of fluid by it self. My only recommendation for doing the RR, then LR is start with the longest brake lines first as each one will seem "faster" as you get closer to the master. You are correct there are separate lines per wheel from the ABS junction back.
Tips: Suck all of the old fluid from the master FIRST, then refill. This way you will be pushing only clean fluid through the system. Smack each caliper with a hard plastic mallet on the last flush of each wheel as it will release any air pocket/bubble clinging. Also think about rebuilding each caliper (it is just a dust boot and a sealing O'ring on the piston) if you have more the 100K. This will allow you to remove all the crud build up at the caliper. The process is simple and only requires shop air and a block of wood to catch the piston when you "pop" it free of the caliper.
Paint the calipers the color of your choice: Yes, Pink is available
