Racing includes time between pit start and pit stop, teams waiting for a flight or a HoO, and until the last team arrives.
I remember in TAR22 Legs 3 to 4, Mona & Beth said they've been racing for 4 days(?), ??? but that was considered 2 legs.
Day 1: Flight from Bora Bora to New Zealand
Day 2: Camping out in New Zealand
Day 3: New Zealand Leg
Day 4: Indonesia Leg
Was there something this long in just a span of one leg, or was it slightly shorter?

It could be longer or shorter but S7 leg 8
• Teams took charter flights from Khwai to Francistown
• They then had to get to Gaborone
• Took a flight via Johannesburg & Mumbai to Lucknow
• Leg in Lucknow
• Teams had a Kor at the Pitstop
• Waited until the evening to be told do take a 24 hour train to Jodhpur
• Teams arrived and waited overnight
• Next morning the tasks in Jodhpur begin.
So at least 3.5 days, I'm gonna watch the episode to see the flight sutuation

TAR 9 from Argentina to Moscow to Germany, with a KOR in the middle at the mat with Phil in Red Square outside the Kremlin. I'd have to go back and check the elasped time from first team release to last team check in, but it was also one of the longest in mileage.
Another was TAR 11, from Tanzania to Poland which got most teams mired in overwhelmed airline traffic during to religious pilgrimages throughout Africa leaving few seats open for Racers and camera crews. Thus delaying their arrival at the (moved) Tanzania pit stop, and thus team releases for the legs in Poland.

As to the Mexico pit stop and the promotional photos. It is entirely possible teams were not told about the NEL, so that it was a surprise for them at the airport at the beginning of the second leg. Thus, that allowed all the stuff to be done with no one the wiser.

Were teams allowed to talk to one another during the photoshoot time? ???

Don't know. Entirely possible teams were instructed not to speak about the results of the leg only.
