I had no idea that the i could be that far separated from the long move it's supposed to imitate.

The official definition says "as many steps as in the previous slider leg". It would never make sense to mimic the length of a leaper leg, as this is known to be 1. So intervening leaper legs are simply ignored.

It would make sense to slightly alter that definition in the case of multiple iso legs, to "the previous slider leg that is not iso itself, and has not yet been mimicked by an intervening iso leg". This is not how the I.D. currently implements it though. Which probably does make the current implementation useless for multiple iso legs, as it does something I cannot imagine you would ever want.
