First of all: I'm no ECM-expert or such, but I think I can answer this question
You don't have to do all the 50's before the 55's etc., but it is recommended. This is because you would need more curves on a 55-digit-level to find for example a 49-digit-factor than on a 50-digit-level.
At all it's just a question of efficiency.
(Sure, if you know that no factor below 50-digits exists you just can start with a 55-digit-level )
