I believe the original study (Trinity Study) that determined the 4% used a 30 year time horizon. One would have to adjust to their own risk profile and assumptions.
I mentioned ERN's SWR series because of that. He simulates longer time horizons and I believe finds 3.5% is a more conservative number, but everything will vary by individual.
