I'd say yours needs more sun; it can handle full sun to part sun, doesn't care for shade.
I had some behaving the same way, also partial shade.
Pikake is Arabian Jasmine, jasminum sambac, and like other true jasmines I'm familiar with it is a seasonal bloomer, not year round. In this case, summer.
It is a vining shrub, so the long and spindly form is natural unless you prune it, and then if it is seeking sun that will accentuate the long runners I would think.
Also try giving it more phosphorus and less nitrogen if you want more flowers, but I think more sunshine will help the most.
