My honest opinion is that the *right* way to handle this is to solve the 
issue on a case-by-case basis with the fax sender.  Or to disable 
Class1PersistentECM in your modem config file:

 Class1PersistentECM: no

However, since you don't want to do that...

There currently is no option in HylaFAX to abort a fax reception after a 
given period of time.  This would be fairly risky, too, long faxes that 
are being received properly would trigger it.  If this is still what you 
want to do you could run a cron job as root and 'faxabort' any faxes at 
are taking too long for your liking.
