When a group of ten includes a subset of three who finish early, until which word must the three interrupt — 'Elokeinu' (the divine Name addition) or 'HaZan'?

Synopsis

When ten eat together and three finish early, they need only interrupt until the mention of 'Elokeinu' (the divine Name in the zimun formula), since even without them there remains a valid zimun of ten. Only when the three are essential for zimun must they remain through HaZan.
