Doug,
I would experiment on a scrap piece of wood. I have used tung oil to refinish furniture and generally never let a wet edge dry. If you stop at some point at the ends of flooring boards and make sure no oil gets on the boards you want to start with when you resume the project, then it might blend in, but it's a bit of a risk.
I would do it all at once. Professionals stain or poly the whole floor start to finish.
Hi Doug. Here are some instructions on using tung oil on sanded hardwood flooring. Good luck with your project. Hardwood floors are beautiful and long lasting. How to Finish a Floor with Pure Tung Oil - Best Tung Oil Help
Aug 11, 2017 - Tung oil can not be applied over another type of finish. It can only be applied to a previous coat of oil. ... If you have a wood surface, which is old, and case hardened, it should be scuffsanded lightly with 150-grit sandpaper, to open up the wood to receive the oil.
Apply it all at once. Hard to blend doing it in sections. Will look splotchy.
