Well, there are several different reasons why a jump landing might lack a long controlled glide, and several of them are already specified in the negative GOE examples.
However, a several-blade-length glide followed by intentional controlled turns is not a mistake and should not be penalized more than, say, a two-blade-length controlled glide followed by a controlled step or other stroke to continue skating.
How long is "long"?
If you define "long controlled glide" as a certain distance or amount of time on a controlled back outside edge, that shouldn't mean that one-foot ornamentation of that edge after holding it for the minimum length should be penalized, if that's what you're trying to suggest.
