Not if TCP does not retry for the duration of your "connected" window, say 5 minutes...
Also, I'm not convinced TCP resets the timeouts when they are so large so much as takes them back down slowly. This is useless if your connection disappeared for a few minutes and then TCP takes longer than you have left to recover.
