Refrigerating then freezing homemade tomato juice/puree?

How long can I keep homemade tomato puree refrigerated before freezing it for storage? Does the length of the refrigerated storage affect the frozen storage life? Reasons why I would want to do this and details on the procedure are inside.

I have been growing Roma and San Marzano tomatoes in my garden this year, and have been preserving many of them for winter use by cutting them up, boiling them for 10 minutes, running them through a food mill, then freezing the resulting puree in sealed jars.

However, sometimes I end up with a leftover third/half/two-thirds of a jar of puree at the end of processing a batch of tomatoes. I would like to refrigerate these partial jars for a few days until more tomatoes ripen for processing, but I haven't been able to find any information on how long it would be safe to keep the partial jar refrigerated before filling it the rest of the way and freezing it.

Various sources on the Internet claim that you can refrigerate tomato juice for 7-10 days, and that you can freeze it for 8-12 months. But I don't know how (if at all) having stored the juice refrigerated would affect its shelf life once frozen.

I will be grateful to hear any ideas on this, whether from experience, theory, or other sources.
