carpet bombing is generally used to refer to large formations of bombers dropping their entire bombload over a target.
a "long stick" delivery is used to refer to operations where the aircraft will deliver a portion of it's weapons load (possibly all of it in the case of a fighter/bomber) in a set line. the weapons are not all dropped at the same point, but are released at regular intervals as the aircraft flies over the target area.
