There's usually an extra few at the death.

Right. The last 48 hours or so, we dish out an additional 10 nominations to everybody in crunch time to make sure nothing was missed, forgotten or overlooked.

Yeah I'll probably be fine in the end but I wonder what's the reasoning for not allowing the extra 10 right away? Seems to be less stressful and to give a chance to these 10 albums or tracks to be noticed before voting.

I've found that in the rush to get your favorites nominated early in the process, you always forget something key and then hope someone else likes it as much as you did. Alternately, you may find something between now and January 2nd that you want to nominate and, whoops, all your nominations are gone! The 11th hour bonus is a safety net for several reasons.

winnowing your favourites down is kind of the point above tallying, like, your 46th favourite track of the year just for the sake of it
