The eclipse prayer is not repeated, even if the eclipse does not end

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is the limit in his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):
So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over.فإذا رأيتموهما فصلوا وادعوا حتى يكشف ما بكم
Sahih al-Bukhari 1040
for the combination of both commands, such that if he finishes the prayer and the eclipse has not ended, he prolongs the supplication until it ends? Or is the limit for the prayer only, such that if he finishes and it has not ended, he repeats the prayer?

A: The prayer is not repeated, but it is prescribed for Muslims to increase in seeking forgiveness, remembrance, saying Allahu Akbar, giving charity, and freeing slaves; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the community to do so when an eclipse occurs.
