Well as you know, fanning limbs put spreads the rotation out a bit slowing it. Just like pulling arms and legs in quickens it, if frictionon the body (airbraking) doesn't come into play. So, the way to avoid that is to begin the longer jump with a bit more contracted or balled up body, so you can slow it down by extending limbs and allowing relaxed joints to absorb some rotation.

That's how I think of it anyway, though abviously don't go all extended or all contracted in either part, as that reduces options heavily. Of course, i just avoid longer ed jumps entirely in most cases, because I feel you lose a lot of fine control that only contact with the floor can provide.
