After some searching I found these details about the Timeswitcher transition

"the range is from 1 to 800 milliseconds.
So 99 = 800 and 1 = 1 millisecond (if that is at all possible of course)
0 nothing happens
100 - permanently visible as you said."

Is this still the case? .8 seconds max?

If so is it possible to make a transition with a longer switch time in Wire?

Yes, with a bit of time in wire you can.
I'm not sure how much delay you get in Wire (I believe it's one frame?) so that's going to be a lot of nodes.
I believe sometime in the future, the amount of delay will be editable.

Currently transitions are limited to 10 seconds. The thing is, that with clip transitions, the mixer is only applied during the transition, so even if you use a patch, that will be ejected after 10 secs max.

If you'd use the patch as layer mixer, you could check the layer opacity value for being 0, or 100%.
That's your topmost FloatIn in the patch. You can use it however you want. Even ignore it.

At anything else than 0% layer opacity the mixer will be applied to the layers, and you can do whatever you want with the layers below texture, and the layer's texture.
