In the flanking maneuver i always hover around 10km from the outside escort. If he comes looking for me I just lead him out to 13 or 14 and he gives up. I converge on the convoy's course when I'm about 10km ahead of the convoy. This gives me plenty of time to get under and go silent before they spot me. As you say, course changes can throw you for a loop. Usually a sound check will get you back on course again.
