You're welcome!
There is a quite a bit awry with the state of affairs in bikini coaching (and women's physique coaching in general). I hope that you'll find down the road that you can obtain the on stage physique that you desire with much less and much smarter training. (Not to delve into it, but that it's the status quo not to question one's coaches methods - e.g., not / never deloading - is kind of saddening. )((
Sounds like you've got a great plan as far as diet. I suspect there will be a lot of winging it, but you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, so I suspect you'll be just fine.
Yes, be safe as you transition and don't be afraid to have a few days away from the gym entirely, too. You're doing a TON now and have proven to yourself that you CAN do that, but it's not necessarily the best way to progress.

I agree- I've been with a couple different coaches and there is a lot wrong with this industry... everything from leaving people in the dust post show with no reversal and no deloads.... I feel like a lot of these larger "teams" have this bikini girl gauntlet mentality where it's a numbers game. Throw a bunch of junk volume at these girls who may never even lifted before and see what sticks. If you get a couple successes out of hundred of girls your marketing is paid for. I love my coaches as people but after a year with them I'm definitely questioning their methods.
And I definitely needed to hear this: "you... have proven to yourself that you CAN do that, but it's not necessarily the best way to progress.
