For those who have done DNP before, if you did do a second cycle of it, how soon after your first did you start the second? A month, three months, a year?

There's no period of time you need to wait between cycles. There's also no period of time to which you need to constrain your cycle length.
In the original clinical research, people were kept on DNP for months at a time to over a year, with long-term results. Since the body develops a tolerance to DNP after several weeks, the dose would slowly be increased, as needed, to keep weight loss humming along. It doesn't take much DNP to accomplish this. In the clinical research they usually used increments of 75mg/day.
The reason shorter cycles are so popular nowadays is because guys typically run high-dose inferno cycles. These necessitate a psychological break, if nothing else, after a couple of weeks. But cycles like this are a poor way to run it IMO, especially since it's much more dangerous. I've always espoused longer, low-dose cycles, for as long as you need to reach your goals.
Even at lower dosages, you might choose to use DNP cyclically. You might discontinue use every few weeks for a psychological break or maybe as part of an anabolic phase in which you take advantage of the glycogen supercompensation and focus on building muscle, like with the UD2.0. Whatever the reason, you can start back up on the DNP as soon as you want to. The only reason you might want to wait is to ration your DNP, resuming use only after your sensitivity to the drug had been reestablished. This would take about two to three weeks. I wonder if this is really worth it, though, considering how little DNP it takes to overcome any tolerance.
In his extensive 1937 research on DNP, Simkins said "Tolerance to the drug is established rapidly, so that to produce a consistent loss of weight the dosage must gradually be raised. On the other hand, the acquired tolerance is rapidly lost if the drug is discontinued for as short a period as two weeks. The dinitrophenol may then be resumed at a lower dosage level with its original effect on the patient. It is remarkable how sensitive many patients are to a slight increase in the dosage."
