This would seem to be more than long enough to me, from what I have seen here on the forum. Do I need more time?
Keep in mind: car is starting fine now. I am not having to lay on the starter for more than a few seconds before it is running. Just runs rough and smokes for a minute or two.
Afterglow setup of some sort would probably help, no?

I'd revisit the glow plugs again. After a 45 second glow, it should start nearly perfectly smooth if the plugs are working properly.
Check to ensure that you've got voltage at each of the four plugs.
Check the resistance of each plug.
Something doesn't sound right..............
