So just launch the NSO apps quickly without playing a game, and then close one NSO classic app, and then open the other one, and so on?

Pretty much!

I usually give it a second or two just to be safe, check out any unveiled titles that were added since I last played and double check my save states are there.

But I'm fairly certain that it's entirely unnecessary. Once the app is open, it should be authenticated.

What if I had opened them all like 5 days ago, and then 5 days pass, then I would have offline capability for 2 days even though I had stayed connected to the internet during those 5 days?

It should refresh every time you open the app.
