14 days is a huge excursion, remember you will be in a practical wilderness. rain falls and rivers rise fast. snow can fall (only in a few places for those north island woofters ) always have at least enough provisions to have to bail in for a few days.
i went on one trip and got in in 6 hours, after a few days the weather turned to hell in a handbasket. the river trail wasnt safe to traverse, it took 1 1/2 days of hard slog to get out safely. i would rather be hungry that washed into a river even though that involved freeze dry food from hell.
anyways inho you are better to do multiple excursions than one big one
