That is why M & K redacted the 8 months thing, realizing how much stuff would be implausible when in the timeframe. And while Burnie said 8 months, unless he is on the writing staff, it's more Word of Dante than Word of God. To use an example, I cite Adventure Time. The Voice Actress for Marceline once told the fans something she heard from the creator, something they wanted to know for awhile, that Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline Abedeer are ex girlfriends. However, she got in trouble for saying this and it was never confirmed canon. So Burnie saying it doesn't really hold water, and Miles and Kerry's choice to redact it is ultimately for the better, as it makes things less awkward. To be precise, lets list each thing.

1. Weiss locks herself in her room, and doesn't interact with anyone outside of assumedly Klein in that time period. Like you said, a coma would be the only reasonable way to justify this, if you remove Klein from the equation.

2. Jacques wants to host a charity event for Vale. If this really was 8 months after Beacon Fell, holding an event for Vale would seem a tad to late, or more acurately, Jacques coming up with the plan 8 months after the fact is a tad late.

3. Blake takes a boat to Menagerie. We don't know how long she was on the boat when we saw her, but being on that thing for more than a few days doesn't seem likely when the ship isn't that big, and the Captain just met her. Even then, what was she doing on Sanus then for more than 7 months? Soul Searching?

4. Sun followed Blake since Beacon Fell. Sun is not Solid Snake, he was easily noticed by Blake on that boat, he isn't the stealthiest, and him "stalking" her for 8 months without her noticing isn't just implausible, its downright stupid.

5. Salem makes the decision to have Ruby brought to her. Aside from this being a major lapse in judgement in that the longer she remains free the more likely she'll disrupt Salem's plans, to wait 8 months to decide on what to do to what is one of your biggest oppositions is a major strategical misplay.
