Imho running very slowly as opposed to merely slowly or at long run pace will not really decrease your chance of injury. Slow build-up rules still apply. But not boosting the speedwork while increasing the other stuff temporarily you could probably get away with for a limited time. After all, a marathon race is typically a jump from 20 mile training capability to 26 and at a faster pace.
I don't have the data to make a probability judgment, but from a christmas runnng holiday I know that I got away with a temp hike from about 80 to 110 kpw. But I think there's probably a risk for that week, yes, which drops to normal when you resume your normal mileage.
