Do you know how to close a app that is in slide over? I know you can move the app into split view then close it the same way you said above tho in some app do not allow split view apps, so you can't close it this way.
Let's say you open "Notes" in slide over if you swipe to the right to hide them app them move over to a different app follow up clicking on the notes icon it would still open it in slide over?
I know you can long swipe up and click on the notes app within the app switcher would allow it to enter full screen mode again or swiping to the home screen and clicking on the icon would open it in full screen again, but are you close the slide over app within slide over mode (similar to split view app close)?
First, pull-down on the grey-line at the top edge of the slide-over App to change the app-view to Split View, then drag then App divider left or right to edge of the screen.
Does this resolve you question?
Having considered the depth of your question a little more, I speculate that you’re trying to “fathom” how you dissassociate the app-pairing that occurs when you open an App in slide-over?
Unless you switch the App view from slide-over to split-view - and then close an app as described - the App-pairing survives closure of the main App. For older iPads (such as iPad Air) that don’t support split-view but do support slide-over, this is even more perplexing. As you have no doubt discovered, removal/reset of an App-pairing is not explained within Apple’s iOS User Guide.
The only mechanism of which I am aware, that removes an App-pairing without resorting to a forced restart of the iPad, is to force close the slide-over App, from the Task Switcher, whilst the slide-over App is active.
Whilst this particular challenge isn’t described, here is a useful guide on using the multitasking features of iOS12:

I hope my additional information and the referenced guide provide some additional insight.

To close Split View, simply drag the app divider to the left or right - depending on which app you want to close.
Hope this helps resolve your conumdrum 🙂
