Each one should be pronounced with the same timing. In Japanese, things like long vowels and geminate (doubled) consonants are included in the spelling, if present. (YandereDev has removed these for some names, but the list he took the names from seems to be pretty accurate and matches the in-game spelling.)

Therefore, Ko-ko-na should be three beats. Unfortunately, Japanese also has high and low pitch within words...which aren't well-documented in easily accessible English texts (since it varies accross accents within Japan anyway, and is easiest to learn from hearing someone talk), so it could be pronounced multiple ways depending on the kanji used for it, for all we know. The best example of someone from Japan saying "Kokona" I could find is the "Japanese female" entry on this page, which I guess is close enough since we haven't been given a kanji spelling for it.
