The way it was explained to me was that what was important was reinforcing whichever quality was being trained and making sure it overrode the habitual responses acquired in daily life, so frequency was as important or more than duration. Duration also depended on the intensity of the quality being trained, so it could range from a couple minutes at most for heavy tension to a half hour at times for relaxation. Once the quality was maintained in movement in daily life, the focus was to be shifted less from longer bouts of reinforcement to more intense shorter bouts of deepening the state.
