I have always used 5 minutes for one hold as a guide - though I cannot find it written anywhere. But at the FL's you mention it is possibly more....
So I would add half the extra time to the outbound time, SHIG, and shorten or extend by a tad if necessary.
Or, just SHIG without any changes, look at the predicted ETA at holding fix and extend using selected Track at the appropriate moment.
