I cannot speak for other airlines but the company I work for, the daily check was an elapsed 24 hours from when the sign off of the last check. The weekly check was an elapsed 7 days. If and aircraft was due to be way from main base during the expiration of a weekly check, then it would be called early, so the check would not "drop-dead" while the aircraft was away from main base. Daily checks on A320 were normally carried out at main base, so the expiry would never be away from base, as they only normally had one night away maximum.
As I say, this is how it worked in the airline I work at for both short haul types like the A320 right through to long haul types like Boeing 777, Airbus A380 etc.
