Most of my class had a 10 day break, they gave us positive space home (to JB destinations or you could jumpseat). Later on, I had a 5 day break in sims and jumpseated home for a few days.

It can't hurt to call and ask.

There is nothing to stop you from jumpseating or driving home on your breaks between sim phases (usually just a couple days), but that's not what the breaks are designed for and you'd run the risk of falling behind the pace training. You'll only get positive space to a jB city for one of the programmed breaks.
