in general terms I tend to think that in case of doubt the more time a subtitle is on screen, the more time I got to read it.
Yes! Seems like a good principle, and is probably what I should generally adhere to. My only concern would be if there are times when it's more important for the timing of the subtitles to capture the rhythm/timing of the vocals? I think that would be more important for deaf/hard-of-hearing vid watchers than for vid-watchers who can hear that *something* is being sung, but can't make out what it is.
