I would just continue to pair them up together as long as they are copulating. Be sure to rest your male for a few days in between each copulation to give him some recovery time. For my females that became gravid this season I recorded around 8-12 copulations for each until I witnessed ovulation. Usually my ball pythons hook up for anywhere from 12-36 hours at a time during copulation.

Also you should check out the breeding section on Markus Jayne's website. I found it very helpful.
