I'm in the middle of a lot of stuff, so give me a couple of days and I'll write my opinions as always in more detail.
Concerning your "play for a long time" for winds, you can sometimes count on people doing circular breathing, but that's not always the best way to do it. If the passage is relatively slow notes, like whole notes and such, you can pull off circular breathing a lot easier. But a good wind player can really do it at all times almost. It shouldn't be a problem. Plus, just write whatever you want and then we can worry about the actual technical problems since those only really merit a couple of tiny detail alterations. Don't write your piece thinking it's playable or not, write it like you want it and then worry about the technical details.
The reason to do it like this is that once you're finished writing what you want you at least know how it "should" be, and you can make technical changes with an orientation on how it should be and strike a balance between playable and what you originally wanted. If the case it's too hard or complicated. If it's all playable (in this case it seems all pretty playable to me) then no problem.
Anyways, there's some other stuff I want to say but right now I'm short on time so it'll have to be later, sorry.
