It specifically calls out recharging it to 50% every six months, so I assume it's a month+ kind of long term.
Also Apple seems to indicate that storage in a deep discharge state is far more damaging than storage at near-capacity based on the wording.
So if you're in doubt, charge it before you store it.
Finally, I don't think there's anything on that page that says you shouldn't keep your laptop plugged in when it's at 100%. I would be very surprised if they didn't have some cycle-conditioning going on. I have both a 2008 unibody and 2010 MBP, both essentially remaining plugged in for years. I don't think the battery life is abnormally low for their age, they still are capable of several hours of usage on battery.

They don't say what "long-term" is, but monthly seems reasonable to me.
