Clip it to the collar when out walking and when offlead - the dog still thinks they are on a longline lead as they can feel it against their shoulder. Do this for double the amount of time you left them on the longline after they had learned recall. It hels with the transition from no line to offline completly. So with your example:

6 weeks online learning recall
6 weeks still on line recall learned
12 weeks on "fake" line.
