That will never be possible.  If 30 those slaves simultaneously trigger 
a request, then at least one of them will have to wait for the 
communication to all the others to be done before it can get its reply.

The worst case for a bus of 30 slaves cannot possibly be exactly as 
quick as the optimum case for a single slave.

The only way that could work is if there is no bus at all, but rather a 
star topology: each slave has its own, dedicated connection to the 
master. I'll assume that this untenable because of the cabling costs.

That makes no sense at all.  If the bus is so idle, why are you polling 
so slowly?  Why would you poll at any less than the maximum possible 
communication rate, while at the same being concerned about too long a 
response time?

But I'll second upsidedown's hint: you appear to be trying rather 
unnecessarily hard to reinvent CAN.
