I doubt he had food for more that 120 days. On the other hand it's obvious that he didn't have to cut his patrol short for lack of food. I couldn't find anything detailed online, but my guess is that his 'patrol' was less a patrol than a deployment, with at least a couple of stops for supplies and fuel, since the listed range of 23,700 miles at 12 knots is only 84 days.
