I think of lot of the time will depend on the cross country flight that you choose.
For me, at the time, we weren’t allowed to leave a control zone under VFR at night. So the 1.5 hour “cross country” had to be conducted entirely with in the CTR (10nm radius centred on the airport). So a lot of criss crossing the zone! So the cross country was 1.5 hours and no more. So that left 3.5 hours for landings which was more than enough.
It probably also helps how familiar you are with the aircraft. I probably had 300+ hours on the aircraft when doing the night qualification, so it I knew it well, and it was only a transition to night. In Fabian’s case he appears to be swapping between different aircraft, which will obviously add to the training time quite significantly.
