In my opinion, you want to loosen up and play more hands, but those hands with implied odds.

You want to be paying suited connectors and one gappers even for a raise, suited aces and suited kings become playable in LP, as does any pair and even some suited 2 gappers or unsuited connectors.

You generally do not want to be playing cards with low implied odds, like A7o let's say, as chances are you'll lose more money than you extract with it.

As far as playing straight trash, simply because you know if you could steal the pot, if you are going to do this, I reccomend only doing so on the button or one off it.

Trust your reads

There is no specific # of hands you should play an orbit, but you should look for excuses to call on or one off of the button. With enough limpers in the pot and the implied odds that you suggest, almost any two cards become good enough to call with here.

I'd still remain relatively tight in EP, although I would loosen up my calling requirements to include all pairs and suited connectors

Of course make sure you are correct in your assessment on the other players at the table, and you aren't the one being played!
