Assuming that you have never played an "A" clarinet before, I'd say that it will just take some getting used to it. Typically there is more resistance (in the Buffet world anyway) in the "A" and I would suggest using the "A" for full practice sessions (you know, the regular routine stuff - scales, long tones, what-have-you) to become more at ease with it.
As for the long sections you speak of, chances are that whatever it is can be broken up a little anyway. The points immediately at the end of long notes (or longer notes) make for good natural break points. And of course if it's a tutti section, just breathe in a spot your stand partner is not. Or if it's an alberti sort of situation your audience will fill in the down beat in their heads, just take a quick breath at a downbeat.
