Can you do a regen whenever and what would you think a good interval should be

Not so sure that's a good idea and what do you expect to gain? On many SCR systems the regen frequency is determined by a model in the ECM that uses up to four different parameters, whichever one is reached first triggers the regen and even though the differential pressure may be low due to your forced regen the ECM may still trigger one on another parameter like fuel used or time, even though the DPF is not full.
Forced regens are normally only needed when something goes wrong with the normal regen frequency (like short drive cycles) in order to save the DPF from reaching a point to where it cannot recover. Also, forcing a regen on an over loaded DPF can burn the system down if you don't know what you are doing.
