i would say, don't wait for things if you need a job fast. It can happen that in the end you don't get a job, but on the other hand, some companies have lengthy procedures / alot of signatures to gather before they can commit to such a thing. Totally depends. I have switched jobs quite a lot, and i've never waited for these things. For example, if another company does want to give you a contract, you can use this as leverage at the one you prefer to have them speed up and match the offer etc. so it's always positive and useful to have a few things going at the same time, even if it's only to have as leverage. also: Recruiters are bitches, some of them get paid just to supply a resume to companies, they often don't seem to care about the individual involved so much as you would hope or expect. Maybe just tell this recruiter (bluff) 'look, you arent the only one making offers, time is running out, you are postponing so much that i might need to go into another offter' or something along those lines.
