For recurring events in basic feeds, Google reports the duration in
seconds of the first instance of the event instead of the end time. I
don't know why they do it this way, there may be no particular reason.
In your case, 14400 is the number of seconds in 4 hours.
I don't see that there are any guarantees about what the contents will
be or how they will map onto the data elements of an event, so instead
of trying to parse the free form text of the content I would try to
parse the gd:recurrence from the full feed instead.
