With loopOut, I usually specify the number of keyframes to loop, so for a standard continuous loop, I'd use looOut("cycle",2), if i wanted to add a pause, I'd add a third keyframe, same value as the second, and set the expression to be loopOut("cycle",3).  AE should then run the loop, wait for the time length inbetween keyframes 2 and 3 and then start the loop again.

 

I'm not sure what the path expression is doing in this situation though.

    Simply split the layer in suitable segments and remove the expression from the hold section. Keep it simple!
