Thats not how it works.
Once you enter a new "zone", all the AI in the path behind you are despawned (or dissapear) and the AI infront of you are spawned (or created). The CPU saves the location, and number of the AI that were in the previous zone incase you should travel back. IN short, there are never AI in other zones besides yours.
In Halo 1 yes, but in Halo 2 the Covenant will leave their areas to bring back reinforcements. Now either these reinforcements are completely new meaning and endless supply of Covenant or they are coming from other areas. Techinically they may not exist, but they can be broght over to your area and then exist.
For that to work, Im thinking that the Covenant fall back to an area in the level (inside your current "zone"). Once they reach the area, theres a spawn point where a certain number (or unlimited number ,depending on how much Bungie wants us to suffer) of Covenant and head back to the point of contact.
