I know, so lame of me to have Leica equipment then scan on a 300. My next purchase is def going to be a v700. Meanwhile, does anyone know where I can get extra negative trays to speed up the process?
Also, does the v700 allow for 24 negatives at a time? Anyone know of one that can handle 36 negatives - well?

Ring up Epson in whichever country you live.
Assuming it [your country] is big enough to have dedicated support they'll be able to send you the holders for some money, second-best is that they refer you to their next biggest support department in another country which will sort you out.
As a point of reference, Epson UK sell replacement v700 120 and 135 holders for £10 each.

On the surface it seems reasonable to want a scanner whose quality matches that of the cameras and lenses used, but the reality is that the final use to which the scans are to be put is what matters.

The v700 can swallow 24 35mm negatives at a time in the form of 4 strips of 6 frames each. If your film is in shorter strips that can't be assembled into 6 frame "teams" (e.g. 5 frame strips that you aren't willing to cut) you can't fill the carrier completely. Most of my old negs are in PrintFile 35-7B pages which hold 7 strips of 5 frames each. Since I don't want to cut the strips shorter, I can rarely scan more than 20 negs in a batch.
No scanner limited to an 8x10 scanning area, as the v700 & v750 are when scanning film, can scan 36 exposures in a single batch. 36 35mm negatives take up more than then 80 square inches available unless you overlap the sprocket areas which would cause great difficulty in designing a carrier that held the film truly flat. Five strips of 6 yielding 30 frames might be possible, but would be an engineering challenge to do well.
