It'll be rather easy to display the warning only the first time the timeout elapses. So you'd be able to tell LibO to try as long as it takes to open a file.

I would suggest not to invent any heuristics about when to show and when not to show the timeout: after all, it depends very much on the filter implementation which files will take how long to load. The file attached to this bug ain't particulary large with regards to file size, it's not even a very large spreadsheet.
