Two points:
1) Talley lightweights are like any other Leupold-style ring. They can benefit from lapping, and I'd be inclined to lap them just like any other.
2) When most people say "Talley" rings, they're referring to the vertical, split-ring style upon which Talley made their name on. Because of the way these rings attach to the bases, I'd argue that you gain nothing by lapping, as your scope is not cradled in a stationary fixture. Thus, you can't really judge progress or alignment like you can with a Leupold type base. I'd argue that this setup is somewhat "self aligning" -- particularly the screw-lock version.
