If going after all three objectives at once is what Jail is expecting, then RF6 is completely conceding the element of surprise. Concentrating on one or two objectives at a time lets them mass more combat power in those locations and takes advantage of the way Jail split his forces. Jail's defensive dispositions have issues as well since he is trying to defend all three locations without any substantial reserves. His forces are vulnerable to being pinned in place by limited holding attacks while RF6's main forces concentrate on the main objectives.
Splitting their forces evenly is one of the worst things each side could possibly do.

Actually, it is quite time-sensitive in a way.
If Cradle is not stopped before reaching activation point, I think it's pretty much game over.
Jail could escape easily if he wants to, since Sein is there. I take it that his 'tube-girls' are quite important, but the key was that delaying was dangerous, considering how bloody long it took for them to FINALLY pin down Jail.
And it's not like they can avoid the defenses towards the capital area.
