Well, I would say you made a very general question and the answer must be general too. When you practice certain technique (whatever it may be), be sure to practice the things you don't feel comfortable first. Generally when you practice, it is not good to practice one thing at a time as it may get boring. It is better to practice 4 mini patterns in an hour than 1 big pattern per hour. i tend to practice 4 mini patterns and brake up the main thing I'm am working on during the whole hour, so 5 minutes in slower tempo on 1 pattern, 5 on the other patterns, 3rd and 4th, then I speed up the tempo and go around in circles until I get them all fast enough.
BTW, there is no such thing as "limited number of patterns for a technique" - you can make countless combinations, and do your best to work through them as precise and fast as you can.

As Ivan said...Don't get stuck on one very particular thing , try several at a time - it will be a much more productive and fun practice session

If you draw that 1 pattern or make audio sample of you playing it I can advise you much better on how to improve you current practice session.

Would you like me to give you my entire practice schedule or just the picking technique? I practice other things like legato, sweeping and tapping as well as other stuff.
