OK -This is my thinking:

According to the theory, if your tunica is not actively being stretched properly, but you are continuing to build smooth muscle, your erections will get rock hard. The added smooth muscle tissue, tightly constricted by tunica, increases the penile density and rigidity. Now, if we refocus our attention on the tunica and stretch it out, length gains occur. But, because the smooth muscle is no longer tightly constricted it flows easily into the new tunica space giving us new length. But at the same time, because it is no longer tightly condensed, we loose EQ. The erection, although longer, is now softer and much less firm. The goal now would be to refocus on SM to regain the original density and thereby cement the added length. I think if we continue to stay focused on the tunica we may gain a little more length but here is where some guys think they need a break due to poor EQ. They assume the poor EQ means they're over-training, they start decon and loose some length due to atrophy, both SM & tunica. I think if we are giving equal attention and getting results from both tissue types we avoid this situation. But, after we exhaust newbie gains, this seems very difficult to do.

This is not to say that some guys do not over-train or that all loss of EQ is due to this phenomenon. I think those things definitely exist but I think guys sometimes confuse them.

I firmly believe this happened in my case. I gained 3/8" EL in a length based routine and by wearing my Penis-Master 8+ hrs a day. However, I developed poor EQ and my gains slowed way down. Assuming I needed a break I took a long decon. I am 2 1/2 months into it, my EQ has not improved, and I lost most of my length gains. I think if I had refocused on building SM I could have retained my gains and improved my EQ.

I think it's a repetitious balancing act. The process being maximize the SM, stretch out the tunica, repeat.
