You have to be bloody careful with this... you can't generalise: eg with
my O2 contract last year, the "first" bill arrived within a few days of
starting the contract, but with this year's voda contract, the "first"
bill was at least 4 weeks later (ie, a whole months' billing cycle).

Surely you just wait until you have 5 bills and then send them in
regardless of whether it's at the end or the start of the month?

Basically yes, but the point is that the OP isn't necessarily going to
know whether the arrival of his 5th bill is going to clash with his
holiday until the contract has started - he *certainly* won't know until
he decides what network he's going for.

Thanks, I'm looking at Buy mobile phones.net, with orange on a 12 mth
contract.
Reading the T & Cs on buy....net website, it states 4 payments on
months 5,7,9 and 12 via voucher, sending the first 5 bills, etc.
It also states they should be received in the time period set out on
each voucher.
UNFORTUNATELY, said voucher is not on the website, hence the T & Cs
don't give you the full info. before ordering.
I realise it's my decision to take on the risk, ambiguity, and hurdles
to get the cash back, hence the questions now rather than later.

I can certainly see why you are concerned about clashes as BMP only
allows 14 days from the date on your bill to submit your claim (but
don't tell you this on their website).
Hopefully now that you have stated that it is an Orange deal that you
are after recent Orange customers can relay their experience in this regard.
