[Callers] Full hey spanning two phrases?

[Vicki Morrison via Callers]

Take All of the Credit, None of the Blame by Larry Elderman has a full hey with bonus balances that spans 24 beats, if this is similar to what you're looking for:

A1 N dosido 1.25 to short wavy lines (8); bal R-L (4), N alle rt 1/2, men alle left 1/2
A2 give P your right hand and bal (4), 1/2 (pass by right) to the other side (8), give P your right hand and balance
B1 1/2 hey, P swing
B2 prom; ladies chain

I feel like in general, if I danced such a dance, I would roll my eyes at the choreographer "breaking the rules", but I can also imagine delightful dances a hey spanning two phrases that justify their own existence and feel great to dance.
