Unless each Diamond gets only one upgrade cert per year. If that's the case, then ignore.
Yeah, that's definitely not the case, I haven't flown to Asia in 2 years.
However, if we assume there are 40k DMs, then the theoretical maximum number of GUCs per flight (maximum assuming every DM chooses them as a benefit and uses them on TPACs, which of course is not true) is 40,000 * 4 / 46 * 365 = ~9.5 per flight
