Even if they touched down long, they clearly managed to maintain the centreline for quite some time before making an unplanned trip to the beach. The theory doesn't hold water.
Perhaps the pilot taxied to the left of the runway in order to execute a right turn, with the intention of using thrust from the no.1 engine to assist the right turn, with steering from the nose wheel, which lost traction as he inadvertently pushed the no.2 thrust lever forward... But that's pure speculation.
