Serialization and serialization times in 40G/10G and 100G/25G Ethernet
You're overthinking.
The number of lanes used doesn't really matter. Whether you transport 50 Gbit/s over 1, 2, or 5 lanes, the serialization delay is 20 ps/bit. So, you'd get 5 bits every 100 ps, ...

Redundant routers (HSRP, GLBP, ... ) with single T1 circuit
Your main problem is that T1 is point-to-point and you can't terminate it twice, as Ron M. has pointed out. You'd need some kind of hardware switch and set up some router monitoring that toggles the ...
