For me all it was that the anniversary rollover date dd not change when I went each holiday. So once the holiday ended if I had been 3 months into the year then once the holiday ended I had 9 months to renew.
So I guess by the same principle if I went on the holiday 8 months into the membership year then once over there would only be 4 months to earn all the tier points to get back status. This is how the MPC rep explained it to me and appeared to have worked in practice.
So sadly no 12+ month holidays
