If the simulated games are about 5x longer, and the board is over 4x bigger, then we would need over 20x the time to get the same number of simulations per position evaluated by UCT. I suspect the larger board will need may more simulations to get a reliable score.
How about 20 minutes per side? There will still be a reliable rating in a day or so.
