What is an OK duty cycle on a starter? As in should we not try turning it over for more than X seconds every X minutes?

ok I got a clear picture now....no he shouldn't need to be cranking it longer....I say he has a couple glow plugs not working. How cold is it now with it hard starting.....less than 3-5 C? Thats not cold enough for fuel to gell.
