Probably the same amount of time in the case of a rapid decompression, though if you dispatch with one bleed inop and your second fails in flight, presumably the outflow valve would close to maintain pressurisation & it would then be a case of how long till the leaks in the airframe allow it to depressurise.

You might even be able to do a relatively normal descent after your second bleed failure if you're having a good day.
