You are correct, there is nothing about trailing the BR once a runner attains 2B prior to the next pitch.
However, like it or not, it is taught to many umpires like backing up the BU at 1B is a priority. It is not, it is part of preventive umpiring and basically a courtesy to your partner.
For those who do, they should never go more than 20' up the line.
Of course, if you didn't compete with the size of War and Peace on every post . . . .
