Since you applied ILR on Long residency she can no longer apply ILR on pbs route. She'll have to switch to FLR and complete another 5 years.

First of all the appropriate application is FLR(M)
She needs either 5 years on FLR(M) or 10 years in total under SET(LR) (assuming she has no gaps of more than 180 days)
Advice is given based on my personal research and experience only. Do NOT contact me via private message for immigration advice

The OP's wife seems to have a break of about 450 days, so likely the continuous residence for the purpose of long residence is reset to start from August 2014 (her return).

The quickest way forward would be to apply for her on form FLR(M), assuming you meet the earnings and other requirements and for her to apply for ILR after five years on FLR(M).
