What about this idea

Have a girth hitched rope sling with a pulley or dual biners etc and use it as a false crotch ... advance it with a pole a good 10' above you ... prussic up. Hang there, install a foot loop or two (you always have ya lanyard on), maybe have another short climbing line and tie off cinched up to centre D ... then advance the climbing line and repeat.

I have one of those Wolfe Garten poles, you'll get a good 12' out of it, once you've prussicked that you just got to think about staying secured whilst you get the weight off your climbing line to advance the show again.
