It's just a number picked after some observation of the testsuite behaviour.
Historically there were some tests taking 3-5minutes to run to I think
the rationale was  (2*[max_duration_single_test]), but lots of things
changed so maybe can be revisited.
Also, I'm under the impression given the test suite uses lit,
individual bots can override the value.
