Short Make up Prayers

Question:   If one has many make-up prayers to perform, can one skip the sujudal-sahwwhen one misses the first tashahudto expedite ones time in completing his make-ups?

The forgetfulness prostration (sujudas-sahw) is sunna(Reliance, f11.12), and omitting it does not invalidate the prayer.  So, technically, skipping it is valid, but it is not advisable, since according to some (such as the Hanafi School ), that prostration is obligatory and omitting it necessitates repeating the prayer. 

And Allah knows best.
