I didn't want it to relevel on the move (and certainly not in the middle of the night), which perhaps differs a little from some drivers.
I agree you've gone the complicated way of overcoming what you see as a problem but why don't you want it to relevel when moving? That is one of the many beauties of the EAS system. When you've been travelling at over 50 mph for more than 30 seconds it lowers the suspension to greatly improve stability and handling (by lowering the centre of gravity), driving at normal height at 70 mph feels decidedly unsteady to me. When you slow down it rises back up to normal height. What is the problem with it doing what it was designed to do for safety reasons whether it is day or night?

If you want it disabling on the move, you simply press the inhibit button in and select whatever height you want to set at, that's what it is there for. Unless you are wanting it to stay in high profile in which case it will ordinarily lower as soon as you reach 30 mph, again for safety reasons. I'm not criticising I'm just trying to understand what you are trying to achieve and why as there may be circumstances when the mod would be useful.

If it droops after 3 or 4 days, it's leaking and even with it disabled when the ignition is off the pump is well on it's way to wearing out. One of my cars hasn't been started, or had a battery on it, for 6 weeks now and it might have dropped half and inch all round if that. Even with the cost of postage your time might be better spent sorting the leak(s) and getting and fitting an O ring kit for the valve block and a replacement seal and sleeve for the pump.

The background to the EAS is that when the Classic started to become a luxury vehicle rather than just a utility vehicle, with things like the SE and Vogue editions, it started to be bought by people instead of an S class Mercedes or similar. Unfortunately they expected to be able to drive it like an S Class and a few of them rolled after a swerve and brake to avoid something. LR had to do something so they introduced the EAS, a developed version of that fitted to the Routemaster bus (the traditional London bus), for safety reasons. High is for low speed off road use, that's all, not for driving around at anything much above walking pace. Switching it off rather than repairing it is downright dangerous.

PM'ing someone who hasn't been seen since Sept 2018, is pretty pointless. He probably killed himself by messing around with thigs he didn't understand.
