My daily commute includes almost 100km highway each way with cruise set, so it could well happen whilst I'm doing that.

This was my point earlier I guess.
There is no set interval. It does them as required and can depend on how you drive, driving conditions and the quality of the fuel. Ie, how much soot its blowing. Prior to DPFs you knew if you had a crook batch of diesel by how much soot it was chucking out the back.
Ideally it does it while you are cruising on the motorway so you won't even notice. I can go months without noticing a dpf cycle. Then sometimes I have noticed them 3 times in a week which to me could indicate bad diesel. It was also down on power at the time and had generic brand diesel from a servo I don't normally use.
IMO some sort of indication when its doing them would help alert you if there was a potential issue as you would get used to how often it does them normally.
