Please check the ABOS Rules – they set a great guideline.
You may also write the ABOS and submit for exceptions – validating reasoning should someone not meet the 46 week rule (or the rule of averaged over the course of residency).

Page 5. 3. Each program may provide individual leave and vacation times for the resident in
accordance with overall institutional policy. However, one year of credit must include
no more than 50 weeks of full-time graduate medical education per year; and at least
46 weeks of full time graduate medical education per year; averaged over five years.
Graduation prior to 60 months from initiation of training is not allowed
Hope this helps.
Have a great weekend.
