Agreed. Sperm only live for up to a few hours when you're on HBC, that's one of the mechanisms that it works by - making your cervical mucus inhospitable to sperm.
Also, if you're going to use back up for that long anyway, you may consider just quit taking your pill all together, as HBC has been linked to dry socket. I know I was going to try to have mine done when I was on an off-week or just quit using it during the week I get it done. Here's a link, although if you Google "HBC and dry socket" you'll get a bunch of VP posts also discussing it.
