When we did these, at the point of the flare and before the power reduction, the No.2 would reduce power first and touch down, and thus produce some longitudinal separation. The leader would touch down a bit further down the runway. He didn't stand on the brakes until he hear 2 say "clear" - not clear of the runway, obviously, but under control on his side of the runway.
