How long to wait for spring settle?

Tein warrants their springs for a maximum of 5mm of sag. While that may only be a warranty and does not guarantee that they won't "settle" I think the thing to consider is whether or not 1/4 of inch is going to make a difference to you.
Let's say they do settle by that much. That means the whole car should equally drop a tiny bit more. If you want more that than what settling will provide, get the other springs now.
As far as alignment, you should drive on them for a week or so to let the rest of the suspension "settle", as bushings and etc will have a different static position after lowering and should adapt accordingly.

Then again, when I installed the Nismo S-tune springs and shocks on my 350Z, I didn't have time to take it to the dealership for alignment until the weekend after. It certainly didn't take 3 weeks to settle, I can tell you that. The alignment and ride height didn't change after the first alignment 1 week after the installation. I brought it back about a month after the first alignment because I wanted more negative camber, and the initial alignment reading was identical.
