I think that you may have missed the sarchasm in NE's post. If you are going to spend that much time holding a G in the staff, is there really much difference between 18 minutes and 20 minutes?

I know a guy that attributed his double register range to just such an exercise. He said that he litterally would spend entire practice sessions playing a G in the staff. H said that it added focus and strength to his playing and embouchure.
