MCAS question

This has probably been answered in the massive Ethiopian thread but I doubt I’ll have any luck tracking down a minor diversion such as this.

When MCAS (the original version) is activated it trims down for approximately 10 seconds. If the pilot does not trim up against the MCAS, ie, he just lets it do its thing and holds the column back physically, will the MCAS input another 10 seconds worth of trim after a 5 second pause? If this is not the case is there an official Boeing document that supports it?
