No, The 500000 is ticks and it will never be anything but ticks. You
get a weeks worth of ticks. That gives you a weeks worth of hours or
a weeks worth of days when aggregated by AB. To get more, you need a
new database that is based on minutes, or days.
I won't go into mixed EOD mode because there are significant problems
in dealing with a mixed database. I won't use that for myself.
