A low approach angle will almost certainly result in a higher approach speed. This combined with a 4+ sec bounce (which is an extremely long bounce possibly exaserbated by the high approach speed) would mean that at the second touch down there would not be a lot of runway left!! (the bounce alone would account for over 300 yards of runway)

I concur with NSF in that the damage was caused by max braking. Even with a fully serviceable a/skid system the energy dissipation due to an RTO or max braking on landing can blow tyres (especially if they are at or close to MM limits), melt fuses, deplete brakes, etc
