Just bleed from the farthest bleeder to the closest is what is always recommended. Do not let the brake fluid reservoir go dry as any air getting into the master cylinder can be a problem to bleed out.
I use a Motive Brake Bleeder and it is a great rig and you can do it by yourself.

I found 10-15psi works best on the S2000. I'd assume the same for the C.

My order of preference is:
1. Pressure bleeder that pushes the old fluid out and supplies new fluid at the same time.
2. Vacuum pump at the bleeder screw to suck the fluid out. You need to monitor the brake fluid reservoir and keep it topped up. (I use this to drain the old fluid out of the reservoir and refill with fresh fluid before I start the bleeding process).
3. Gravity bleed with the bleed screw open and left to drain. Works better on some brake systems than others (works great on my truck) but again watch the reservoir level.
4. Traditional two man bleed system with one person pumping the brake pedal and holding it down while the other releases the bleeder and lets the fluid drain and to watch the reservoir level.

You may appreciate this and for the OP if you have access to an air line.
I added an air fitting with a bleed valve. No need to pump or watch the pressure. Makes the job that much easier.
