I think that that issue is secondary to the fact that the island of stability has predicted half-lives in the range of a year or two. So in order to look for that spectrum we have to have supernovae that have happened very recently and close enough for us to make out the spectrum in what remains.

I hadn't seen anything saying a year or two, I think I've only seen predictions on the orders of hours to days which would basically make it impossible to detect on anything that could be reasonably close to us since they'd be around for such a short time and only during/after the brightest part of the whole thing.
