If OP willing to take risk, he might book the entire 16 nights required and then inform the FD that he need to leave early, finalise all the charges including the future one so you could check out using the apps, and ask the FD to apply credit for all the nights.
It might works or might not.

I did before when I have to depart 1 day earlier and did manage to get all the nights and points. No idea if this will works if involved 10 or more unused nights
Zero chance of that working as stated. You won’t get credit for nights not present that the hotel knows about.
