Have you considered drilling a hole at each end, and then running the router between those two holes? I missed your earlier post about so maybe that was already suggested. I've done that on a pine 2x6 with reasonable results.
I can say that cutting MDF definitely does produce lot of dust, and if you are routing out a channel all the way through there is going to be A LOT of dust. It's not like normal sawdust.
That said, if you can do it outside or in a space that is closed off from any living space, it may not be an issue. Definitely, definitely wear a mask for this, inside or outside. And boy if you are doing that many you're gonna be real good at it by the end!
