So I turned my blinker on and cruised 2+ miles until the double yellows broke. It took forever. Pulled off on the shoulder and did all the right things. No ticket.
My question is, in that scenario, was I right to not break the law in front of him, even though it cost him time, and I'm sure he was waiting for me to run the entire time as well.

You did the right thing. Kudos to you. You maximized both your safety and the officer's safety all while improving visibility with regards to oncoming traffic.
