First of all, "mars" is French. The third month of the year in English is "March". Not to be overly pedantic, but if you do need to spell out any of the months on the form, just make sure you do so correctly in English.

For your situation as described this is what I would write:

Country visited: France/Morocco
Reason for travel: Holiday (?)
Date out of UK: 20/03/08
Date return to UK: 16/04/08
Total days out: 26

So treat the period out of the country as one trip to France/Morocco. And just to be clear, don't count the days you left and re-entered the UK in your total number of days out. 20 March-16 April is 26 days away.
