Well when you break out why not circle left or right? It would be a good
opportunity to shed some altitude.

In theory you can tell the tower you are going to do that. I've never
flow the approach without a warning that there was a Gulf Stream or
similar in trail though. I'm not sure what the tower would do if you
said you needed to circle but I wouldn't be surprised if they sent you
back to approach. The "line up" for the approach is pretty far out;
likely because of the dense LA traffic and the fact that there are
always several jets on the approach.
Interestingly tower always provides speed checks on final. Its the
only tower I've ever seen that does that. As you cross the fence you
get a "your fast"; "on speed" etc.
