A320 engine starter limits

Hello everybody,
Considering engine starter cycles and limitations:
During aborted manual start, tailpipe fire and in general manually aborted start, we have to shutdown engine and perform a manual crank.
As stated in the FCOM “The start valve automatically reopens, when N2 is below 10%.” So this limitation is automatically taken care of. What about the 15 seconds limitation between two cycles? Is the time for N2 speed drop below 10% always sufficient to reengage the starter?
Thanks.
