In any case it's looking likely that the timescale I provided as an example is becoming a reality.

If making payment for the application before my most recent payslip and bank statement are more than 28 days old is all I need to do, is there actually a time limit between making payment and submitting all the documents? If anyone has an idea, please let me know, thanks!
We sent our documents via DHL Document Express and they arrived within 2 working days. It was a very fast service.

As for the question about the time limit between making payment and submitting the documents, from what I can recall yes there was a time limit but I do not know how long it is.

I have just checked a copy of my wifes application form and there is a section which reads:
"I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MY VISA APPLICATION FEE WILL BE REFUNDED ONLY IF
THE APPLICATION IS WITHDRAWN IN WRITING WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND 7 DAYS OF THE ORIGINAL DATE OF APPLICATION AND PRIOR
TO THE SUBMISSION OF BIOMETRIC DATA OR ANY PROCESSING TAKING PLACE."

To find out the time limit, try emailing VFS: info.ukph@vfshelpline.com
