The ffmpeg code seems to default to three second chunks (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#whisper-1):

    queue
    
         The maximum size that will be queued into the filter before processing the audio with whisper. Using a small value the audio stream will be processed more often, but the transcription quality will be lower and the required processing power will be higher. Using a large value (e.g. 10-20s) will produce more accurate results using less CPU (as using the whisper-cli tool), but the transcription latency will be higher, thus not useful to process real-time streams. Consider using the vad_model option associated with a large queue value. Default value: "3"
