Default torque all head nuts

I have a question about torquing the cylinder head nuts after changing the head gasket. I have a copper head gasket.
My workshop says I should torquing the nuts again after about 300 miles.
The workshop has torqued with 52 ft lbs (70Nm).
Would it be better to tighten the nuts more often, so not to wait 300 miles?
Are 52 ft lbs sufficient or maybe almost too much?
