At max gross takeoff weight (377T), a 747-200 reaches Vmbe at about 130 Kt for a rejected takeoff. For a "normal" landing, it is about 190 Kt at max landing wt (285T) and 185 Kt at 300T. The chart I used doesn't go above 300T for landing, but the 130 Kt figure may be in the ballpark for a quick return after takeoff.

I agree that for a quick return at high gross weight, slow down NOW, and run off the runway at as low a speed as possible if that is inevitible.
