Different strokes for different folks (some longer others shorter which I imagine varies depending on a lot of individual variables). I'm with you in that I prefer to destroy myself taking bigger chances in weight which shortens my blast. Back when I was DC training with SuperD, I've gone as long as 13 weeks with 1-2 "mini cruises" aka dropping the Friday workout which gave me a good four day break. That's one of the variables I elluded to. While this last blast I could've gone longer than the five weeks (running a three day which provides four days of full rest - Another variable) I definitely came back A LOT stronger and thus able to take big chances in progression than IMHO I would've been able to do had I barreled through a longer blast. 
In the end, it sounds as though you found your golden ticket which most people never find.
