There was no indication given of other than simultaneous release.

The timeline indicated separation of all of the payloads at T plus 60.

A mission profile is available on Rocketlab's Twitter account which seems
to confirm this.

I am not totally discounting the possibility you suggest, just reporting
the information that has been made available.
