I once recieved a white phal as a gift that would make a new spike almost immeaditly after the last one finished ....sometimes a couple of weeks between but very quickly .....
It also slowly died within a year .....I am assuming It was my inexperiance that killed it more than the heavy blooming as it was my very first phal.It would lose one leaf at a time slowly getting smaller and smaller,but at the same time producing new spikes untill it just expired.
I Dont know of any way to force this and really dont think it is good for them not to get a chance to restore energy stores in between bloom cycles.
I do have a yellow that blooms a lot in fact is making new spike now and it bloomed in Janurary also ...but this one is on eof the type that make a clump and the spike do keep growing as it blooms and it will stay in bloom for months growing new buds at the tip as a few open .....onlt 2 or 3 blooms open at one time and they last for months.It will stay in bloom untill july or so this year I believe.
