I haven't done this, but I'm gonna weigh in with what seems like the logical solution (to me) in hopes that it helps you...
It sounds like you need to build several clocks... Your normal clock with the hard time marker at 00:00 to keep NORMAL PROGRAMMING on time -- that gets scheduled every hour EXCEPT THE HOURS OF YOUR LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING. And another clock(s) for your LONG-FORM programming hours WITHOUT the hard time marker -- that is scheduled on the grid ONLY DURING THE HOURS OF LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING -- with the specific cart(s) for your 3 hour program. And if the length of the program varies, you might need another clock specifically for the LAST HOUR of LONG-FORM with music categories over-scheduled and allow Rivendell to drop songs based on the hard start of the REGULAR CLOCK at the top of the 3rd/4th hour AFTER LONG-FORM ENDS. OR... Maybe a clock for LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING without a hard time marker but with an RML command to put automation into manual mode for 2 hours 50 minutes? That's where I'd begin if I needed to do what you're describing. Hope that helps!
