By buying in smaller chunks you're "diversifying" in a sense - sounds good down that avenue also.

Buying smaller chunks has nothing to do with diversification. Diversification means you have different types of investments or savings. So.... holding a mutual fund and a mix of bonds like the i-bond is diversification.

Now you could look at it as a diversification of rates but this instead is called laddering. You hold bonds or CD's with different issuances and maturity rates.
