The law simply does not permit the exclusion to be prorated unless PPT or BFR is met.  Either way, it seems to me your client may not even have a tax home in Afghanistan to start with.  What type of visa was she on?  Was she on rotational duties?  How long is her assignment there supposed to last?  Etc., etc., etc.
