Note that it s possible to separate the display from the PCB if that is getting in they way of your modeling. They are attached with a bit of double-sided adhesive tape and can be removed with some gentle prying. You will need to use extra care once they are separated since the flex-connector between them is rather delicate.

One point you probably already know, if the OLED will be displaying its graphics over the long term, a good idea might be to design those graphics with varying colors and layouts to avoid burning patterns into the grid. I've seen damaged store display TVs where that precaution wasn't taken.
Best of success. I bet we'll see an Adafruit billboard. (c:

You could try wiring the clock and data lines as twisted pairs to help reject noise. Ethernet cable is a good source for nice tightly twisted pairs. Use one pair for SCK and GND. And use another pair for SDA and GND.
