ok....simple version
Human Queen+ Human=long
HQ+dog=Quick
Space Jokey+human should= Quick...but Kane had a long one...
Predalien Queen+human= Quick as well...
Kane didn't have a long one. The chestburster was indeed undeveloped compared to the one in "Aliens". It didn't have the little arms and there was more blood, which could have meant it had to punch a lot harder and more violently to escape because it was less developed.
I'd estimate that in a non-optimal host it could take between 4 to 8 hours for gestation. How much time actually passed before it burst out of Kane, if its in that timeframe, this theory could be plausible, although, probably will be regarded as non-canon, as nothing is there to officially confirm it.
(once again, im just reporting on what theories are featured there, i never said i support them necessarily, but im trying to see if they could indeed make any amount of sense, and possibly find more ways in which this molting or vomiting will seem even more impossible.)
