I think the second number is a bit too small. In Novosibirsk, we played 16+8+1 on Large maps, and it was just right. Maybe this is a better option:
8+6+1 on Medium
16+8+1 on Large
32+10+1 on Extra Large

In my opinion, this isn't quite right.
Firstly, Medium maps are played when there's little time or you just want to play a quick game. If you need to think through every move, play something else.
Secondly, 16+8+1 for Large maps is okay, but it's the same as playing a Small map on an 8-minute timer – it's unhurried and deliberate, and time doesn't fly by like on a 6-minute timer, but is it necessary?
Thirdly, 32+10+1 on Extra Large maps is almost unlimited because at the beginning of the game, you'll accumulate 2 hours of timer, and then it doesn't matter how much time you spend on each turn.

The only thing I would support from this is the 16+8+1 timer for Mini and Diamond maps.
