It depends how long you will be staying in places and how you plan to get from place to place? Night trains or day trains as will depend on the 19:00hrs rule possibly as to the amount of trains you would actually need so that would determine the travel days and ticket you would need...
The other guys in here would be of more help in terms of the ticket etc etc

There is no reduction for travel longer than 30 days, you would have to buy more than 1 ticket.
A bit of general advice, try not to plan too much. The beauty with an IR ticket is that it is really flexible, so you can stay in places for longer/shorter than you had planned, depending on whether you like them or not.
Its a pretty hectic schedule for 3.5 weeks, averaging just over 1.5 days in each city - not really long enough to see a lot, and very tiring!
Id try to cut down a little, and then check out how long train journeys are/what time they go to make sure youre not arriving in places in the evening, and then having to leave the next morning. Then check out what suppliments you need to pay.
For a route through Eastern Europe, think about travelling up through Macedonia, into Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia (The Sarajevo - Mostar train is Excellent), Croatia and finishing up in Slovenia.
