You can't restrict the overall time spent in a scene, but you could set each individual slide up with a certain timeline length and set the slides to advance when the timeline has ended for each individual slide.
Tracy Parish shared a neat time for creating timers in PowerPoint and exporting as video files. While you can't play the media across multiple slides, you could create one slide with multiple layers.
