I guess so, but I’d expect you to be retrying for that length of time anyway. 
In fact, that’s the default second phase.

I’d stick with the default
 
*   *   F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h

That gets you faster retries in the first phase, and 4 days of retries in the 
last phase. If your authentication errors really are transient, then I’d add an 
initial "F,1h,5m;" or something like that, so that you minimise delays in 
delivery.
