"Hail Holy Queen" is said only once, not once for each decade.

No. That is one variation on the rosary..... Basically the rosary is just a "prayer aide", so there is a bit of flexibility in how you use it.
I saw this and originally thought it was incorrect. So I did a little search and found:
http://www.rosary-center.org/howto.htm
which lists all the parts of the rosary with which JDG is apparently familiar, and then says:
After the Rosary: HAIL, HOLY QUEEN
I guess growing up, since this was always done by both my family and my church, I assumed it was an official part of the rosary, but per the site, this is something that is just said afterwards.
I guess if you're open-minded, you learn something new every day...
