It's probably no big deal, but if you are worried, you could always just add another workout or three at the end of stage 1, before you do the two special workouts. Lou gives you the option of adding another workout at each rep level, so I think it would be ok to just add extra workouts at the end. So, if you finish all 8 A and B workouts, and have one more week with three sessions left free before your break, just do another A and B at the 8-rep level, then do the two special workouts. However the timing works out for you. I don't think he'd ever say "don't add workouts!"
That said, I have occasionally taken two week breaks from lifting, and I usually come back fine, and feel really strong, especially if I had been lifting very hard before the break. And you will be lifting really hard if you do these workouts properly!!
