Generally, you need 7 days of active pills in a row after you've finished your antibiotics to regain your protection. This doesn't change if you're using continuous pills or traditional ones.
However, you're taking azithromycin, which is the exception to the rule. Because it's an antibiotic that stays in your system longer than most, you need backup for longer as well. The best information we've been able to find says to use backup for the full month after you've finished it to be on the safe side.
This is something that's fairly specific to Azithromycin, or the Z pack. So yes, plan to use backup now through the next month.
