"don't know if there'd be enough time to start a third event the Mercedes McLaren EDD."

There will be time enough, even in this worst-case scenario:


 * 1) You start tomorrow (2nd of 31 days) by the Arash R&D, which takes you 12 days to finish.
 * 2) Then (14th day) you opt in to MB AMG C63 R&D; that's another 12 days,
 * 3) Finally (26th day) you start the MB SLR McLaren EDD.

And you still have the whole 9 days of the EDD, not just the remaining 5, given that the 31st is an opt-in deadline rather than a limit to an already started event. (As confirmed here, where the poster is a forum mod and "CM" = community manager,)

OTOH, in a best-case (or should I say OCD-ish) scenario, if you manage to finish each EDD in a single day, and leave one of the two 12-day-long R&Ds to the end, you can even run 7 of the 9 events without unlocking labs/ locations earlier. If you're curious...
 * Arash R&D: lasts 12 days
 * Apollo N Championship: 7 days
 * Falcon F7 EDD: 9 (max)
 * Mazda RX8 SE R&D: 9
 * Vanda Dendrobium Chmps: 10
 * MB SLR McLaren 722 EDD: 9 (highly shortenable)
 * Mercedes-AMG C 63 R&D: 12
 * Atom V8 Chmps: 7
 * Weber Faster One EDD: 8 (highly shortenable)
