At the moment (up and down the drive) I can push the brake lever all the way down with very limited stopping power. However, if I release the brake and apply again immediately it stops great. Is this usual and will it sort itself out after a fews miles of use?
Confused about SVA passing brake test if you don't get a chance to bed them in.

Would strongly suggest you get a hard pedal prior any country lane jaunts !
What you quote, where the pedal goes full travel and when released next immediate application is good does not sound like brake pads bedding in to me,
willing to be proved wrong,
sounds more like air trapped or perhaps a master/slave cylinder is sticking due fitted some time ago without regular use.
Your current situation would fail SVA as they would pick up on the full travel and poor stopping at first application.
