Since R143 cars run on the M line on weekends only, are there plans to run them full time on weekdays when the L line goes to OPTO full time in November.

No.
When the L goes to OPTO, the R143 cars will be the only car type allowed on the line. The ones on the weekend M will go to ENY/Canarsie yards for the L and the R42's still running on the L will be transferred to Fresh Pond yards for the M.

Well, I'm assuming they will run on most BMT/IND lines but for the L.
