I don't think there's any penalty based on time...especially one hour long. I mean if you do it based on time, a penalty in the first level 300 bbs deep, is going to be a lot less significant than an hour long penalty at the final table.
Regardless, a penalty for this type of infraction seems rather dumb. I mean if a guy is dumb enough to check behind the nuts, then I don't want him missing any hands at all.
Like if the player purposely goes out of their way to 'collude' then there should be a huge penalty. If you watch this hand, it's quite obvious that there's no collusion, and that Darvin had a reason to check behind the nuts.
Obviously it's stupid to check the nuts, but it's clear to me that he's not soft playing the guy.
