Scrubbing in new Bridgestones doesnt take long really, about 3 laps will get them scrubbed. They perform at their best in the first 15 - 20 laps. After that they level out and will last for a good amount of hours depending on number of heat cycles. But don't get yourself too bogged down in that just yet. All you need to know is:

Brand new Bridgestone YDS's:
First 2 / 3 corners will be like ice, so be really careful.
Subsequent corners within the next 2 laps will be twitchy.
By the third lap you should feel good levels of grip, so you can come in knowing your tyres are ready to go, or just stay out if its a practice / qualifying session.

Hope that helps.
