In the tutorials section it says that as you realize you are dreaming, stabilize for a few moments, well i beleive to have long lasting lucids you should be stabelizing every second. The way you do it is simple, do your usual stabilization after that you decide you want to fly, procede to do that, but feel the wind in your hair, notice any smells tha are present, observe the surrounding landscape, you decide to land and you want to kill a zombie hord, as you summon that wepon, feel the texture of the hand grip, the force of the recoil from the shooting, the concrete under your feet etc etc.

the main idea is keep 100% awarness of every sense, don't lose track of any. As the dream becomes longer and longer, Remeber what you have already done in that dream. Using this technique you should be able to have lucids that felt like they have gone for hours. Anyone want to help test this?
You're assuming that there aren't any diminishing returns on sense awareness as it pertains to dream stability. Unfortunately, in my experience there's huge diminishing returns, and this method could probably only add a few minutes to a lucid. A better technique is called 'chaining', which is where you let the dream collapse, and then do a quick WILD (specifically a DEILD) and try to return to the same dream scene. DEILD chaining works quite well, but it also experiences diminishing returns. However, in my experience, you can extend dream length by possibly 20-30 minutes using chaining. Now, the downside of chaining is that it seems to make remembering the previous 'links' in the chain more difficult every time you add another segment.
