Who says he hasn't and isn't planning to scratch off the last few before moving on to Beacon? Right now, all we know is that Beacon is his ultimate target but we don't know how long he's been building his power in Vale City (GTA-style) to support this ultimate goal.

I'll just restate my theory (Genesis of the whole Pyrrha discussion) :

Roman's objective - more dust

Goal - Kidnap Wiess and hold her for ransom

tactic - widespread diversionary assault on Vale to draw off Beacon defenders followed by massive power play against RWBY (spearheaded by Adam & Crimson perhaps)

counterplay - the remainder or RWBY (possible injured) combined with JNPR to rescue Weiss

Outcome - we finally get to see what Jaune is capable of (drived my his infatuation), major team bonding, perhaps significant loss/sacrifice (Pyrrha)
