The game will churn them out at a rapid pace and will stop when anything noteworthy happens. And the sub-pulses for 1d turns are short enough that generally nothing bad happens. However, it is prudent to use smaller turns when your survey ship gets close to a habitable planet just so you don't miss anything. In fact, it is generally helpful to check the system information window once you jump into a new system. If there are any habitable planets, pay close attention to surveying them - designing sensor drones or even survey drones for just this purpose is a tactic that some players prefer - even if they aren't CC0 to you. Yes, this slows exploration down but this way you might be able to save a survey ship.
