Cid,
Hmmm...Good question. Sometimes a summary of what the person said is enough to confirm that you've heard them and then you can move the conversation onto another topic. Also keep in mind that a long-winded answer could be a result of the question that was asked. Perhaps using words to hone in the response such as "specifically" or "in the past year" might help focus them to a narrowing topic and thereby a shorter response?
