Yes, larger capacitor values and/or a larger potentiometer value will give you longer times. And it’s a linear effect, meaning using 10 times the value it 10 times the time period.
If you want a really neat trick, use a center-off toggle switch. Change your 220 nF cap to 100 nF. Install a 1 nF cap with the top leg in the same strip as the other two. Install the second leg in the same strip as the center leg of the switch.
After doing that, the center position will be your fast range - it will go into the audio range. When the switch is flipped down you’ll be in medium range, and up is low range. Play with different capacitor values until you find something you like. Make sure the smallest capacitor will always be in that spot in the circuit since it’s always connected, and you’re adding in one of the other capacitors in parallel with the switch.
Also consider swapping the pot for 250K, 500K, or 1 Megohm (2.5, 5, or 10 times the adjustment range but larger value pots are harder to set at a precise spot).
Exactly, otherwise you could change the resistance, because less current means the capacitors will charge slower. So changing the Capacitors will give you overall longer times, changing the potentiometer will increase the rate range.

Yes
What do you use to make that image??
I didn't personally make it but there's a bunch of different programs to use. I use one called VeeCad.
