FWIW, I play it, as it's notated, as a 9-tuplet - 3 triplets. It's easier to play if you just consider it an unmeasured trill, but trill notation was certainly available and known to Tchaikovsky (and would have been easier to use than writing it out as he did).
As to freedom, I would say take what you want as long as you don't delay the third beat, and see if the conductor reacts one way or the other. I think you have to keep the figure within the pulse (not stretching the 2nd beat), because of the cello syncops under the clarinet and because when the bassoon imitates it 4 bars later it's against a more rhythmically active accompaniment that has less metric flexibility.
