I also failed to account for slant angle for the distance, which could add a few more milliseconds to each leg in the worst case.

With so many satellites in the sky, I think those effects will be exactly as you said, a few (<10 ms) milliseconds in the worst case, depending on how aggressive the hopping from sat to sat is.
