Hi Mrs. D,
I think supplementating with anything should be done wisely and cautiously. With vitamin D deficiencies, the huge doses only start to get stored once a certain serum level has been achieved according to the experts who are quoted by the vitamin d council (in the reply I sent to Carly). Then as you said, daily maintenance doses are necessary to help keep the levels where they need to be.

These huge bolus doses... I think get stored, rather than used.
The body cannot handle bolus doses of nutrients well. Water soluble ones get excreted quickly. Fat soluble ones get stored.
What you want is some in the blood all the time, to do the jobs they are intended for.
