Sometimes they do go as long as 6 hrs or as short as 3.5 hrs. It's rare, but they seem to 'miss' a spawn sometimes b/c it takes almost 8 hrs between spawns. It helps to keep watch on the party search screen for unique hunting parties; they are pretty good indicator of when each unique is due.
Best time to hunt unique - server inspection evening! Everyone is logging off or doing other stuff, and you can end up with a nice kill if you get one to spawn beforehand. Hopefully you won't get owned and not get a spawn before server goes down. Usually I try to save alchemy and unique hunting for inspection night...sit and wait and break down items and tuck them in squirrel...sort of like a police stakeout without the pistachios, doughnuts and coffee
Most accurate spawn of all uniques - the 4 hr mark after a server inspection. Every time I've been online after inspection, the uniques all seem to spawn one after another, maybe 5-10 mins in between. Once they start getting killed and what not, the timing is thrown off and you'll start getting yarkan 1st, or isy before uri, etc.
Or...if you have active guildies/union members that are always online, maybe you can set up a unique watch, and update when you last saw each one to help with determining when next spawn will be.
Good luck, and happy hunting!
