Frankly people make this so confusing and complicated using acronyms and they include aspects that, while nice to know, aren't needed and just complicate it.
1. Accelerate up to a little above desired speed while keeping the assist at 2 bars.
2. Slightly lift accelerator so no assist or regen bars show. You will gradually loose speed.
3. When you have lost as much speed as you care to gently accelerate again with 2 bars of assist. Get back up to your high speed.
4. Repeat.

Your on the right track.
However, after reaching inital speed let your foot off the accelerator and reapply it just enough to stop regen. Doing this will decrease/cease fuel consumption. You don't have to use just two bars of assist. Using less saves battery life but takes longer to get to speed. Using more gets to speed faster increasing FE but can lower the battery. However, if getting to speed is done fast enough not much battery power will be used.
Either way you have the basics down. You can figure what works best for you.
