I suppose it would have technically been more accurate to say that 34 billion more runs generating 29 picograms would be still less than a gram.

Even if they somehow managed to do that many billions of runs though to get a single gram of gold, even then I don't think it would be worth trying to bother separating any of the gold generated from the other products.
