Yes, when they book your travel to return from the delay, they will book:
1. Your travel TO Indy for Indoc/GOS;
2. Your travel home FROM Indy for Systems home study, and;
3. Your travel TO Indy for Systems class.
Beyond that, because at that point everyone will have different EFPT/Sim schedules, you use the Company Business (COBUS) forms to book your travel home. These are still positive space. Any time you have a break of 4 days or longer, they will positive space you to and from home and wherever you need to be.
In my case, I have about 10 days in Indy for EFPTs (with two days free), then I'm home for 5 days, then to St. Louis for another 10 days or so, then home for another 5, then back to Indy for my final 2 EFPT sessions, then 3 days off (no positive space travel, though I could non-rev somewhere if I wished, I suppose), then to St. Louis for my sim LOFT and LOE. After that I understand we are required a minimum of 5 days off contractually before starting IOE.

I wouldn’t plan on commuting if you only have two days off. Not worth the risk. Also, the guys that went home on the weekends in my class didn’t fair as well in training. Use that time to your advantage to study. Its a fairly quick process. Use the time to your advantage..just my opinion though. Good luck!
