I'd have thought any further OmniDekkas heading north would be direct replacements for Olympians and Lolynes. Also, an element of depot standardisation would come into play; it would be better to have the OmniDekkas all based at Stanley (if possible) for engineering purposes. Personally, I can't see any going to Washington. Possibly, if more do cascade, 4 could enter service at Chester-le-Street as direct replacements for 3869/72/75/78. However, with depot standardisation in mind, it would be better to send 4 OmniDekkas to Stanley, and send 4 ex-London Presidents from Stanley to Chester-le-Street. All OmniDekkas are therefore located at Stanley, and 4 of Stanley's 6 B7TL Presidents are rehomed at Chester-le-Street, which already has a number of them allocated. The remaining pair could be sent elsewhere. Just my theory on what would happen, anyhow.
