You can switch back to an advantage plan during the annual enrollment period (for 1/1 effective date). However, if you go back and forth repetitively you would not have a guaranteed right of issue for the supplement. The first time you go into an advantage plan you have a 12 month period to switch back and still have guaranteed issue on a supplement. It's complicated. Go to Medicare.gov: the official U.S. government site for Medicare for more detail.
