IIRC when the judge starts talking about time on licence he is setting expectations about how much time the prisoner can expect to be incarcerated rather than setting inviolable conditions.
Either way, the sentence is 18 months, reducible to 14 if he decides to stop holding the court in contempt, and tonight Are Tommy will be enjoying a cavity search followed by a lumpy mattress.
Whether he’s locked up for 6,7 or 9 months makes little difference in the grand scheme of things … he will be on licence for another 8 or 9 months thereafter and liable to be returned to prison without any further trial if he misbehaves.
