As long as needed for all the newborn kittens to be born. A cat will usually know when she is done birthing because by that time, she will have settled down and have started the feeding process.

Our cat gave birth to 2 kittens at 9pm in the evening, then had a 12 hr gap between them and the next 2 kittens which were delivered at 9am the following morning. She was feeding the original 2 kittens through the night and seemed relaxed. Guess the other 2 were just not ready!
Cats usually take 4 - 6 hours to deliver her entire litter though if labor persists over 7 hours they should see a veterinarian.
