Spoiler:
Wouldn't you just light the first three fuses in succession to count three minutes, and then the fourth fuse at both ends to get it to burn for only 30 seconds?


I'd probably end up contacting the Chinese manufacturer of these timing fuses to figure out what math they used to calculate these non-uniform fuses' burn times.
