I'm not clear which 'panels' you mean.

Another thing to consider, the code you pasted looks like it will hide
those pages from almost everywhere in the admin screens; how will you ever
get to them to edit them (even if rarely)?

It sounds like you need to specify:
* exactly which 'panels' you want these pages hidden from,
* exactly which drop down lists you want them hidden from
* how you want to specify those pages (all pages created in a certain
month, before a certain date, children of a specific page?),
* and how you will be able to get at them to edit or manage the hidden ones.

And then get someone to write some custom code for you.
