Maybe I'm lucky, but I've not generally had problems with cramp even after eg 3 hours riding up to Birmingham.
Mostly I take the opportunity to ease the hands off when I'm stopped at lights etc, but there was one time I was on a long straight bit of motorway, so I just pulled in the clutch and let my right arm hang down whilst I wiggled my fingers, then brought the revs back up and gently let the clutch back in.
I've heard (though I can't confirm) that often cramp is due to a bad riding postion or gripping the bars too tightly, so that might be something to consider.
