Magura HS33 rim brakes

My second hand touring bike came with hydraulic Magura HS33 rim brakes. I am trying to determine how many braking rubbers I should take for a year-long trip in a continent where I'll likely never come across them in a store. Did some searching on the internet but all I've found people saying is that they last "longer than the rubbers on normal v-brakes". They are pretty expensive so I don't just want to take a large amount of them if I don't have to.

Anyone have experience with taking these things on long trips? About how many miles/km/days did it take for them to wear down to the point where you had to replace them? I know that this depends on different factors but in your experience.

Thanks
