IPM and Retro last strictly one hour. Team standup might be 10 minutes. 1-on-1s might be every 3-4 weeks, length varying 30 minutes to an hour.
Ad hoc meetings are rare. Usually introduced reluctantly and dropped as soon as possible.
Missing from your list are the additional meetings an anchor takes on -- pre-IPM (if that's thought to be necessary), CL/LL checkin (length and frequency vary), Labs Project Status meeting (30 mins on Friday).
Cloud R&D Pivots also attend a weekly joint standup. Sometimes global, sometimes local, length varies 10-20 minutes.
And, of course, if you're a manager, you will be having 1-on-1s with some Pivots every week.
But for the most part, it is possible for engineering pairs to be heads-down and working for hours on end.
Edit: should mention I work for Pivotal. I'm actually off to get ready for work. Anyone who wants to ask me questions is free to hit me up, email is in my profile.
