1. Would it make sense? yes Is there any rule support for handling it this way? no

2. No reasonable guesses. No at least. The only way adjustments can be made are with definite knowledge of the time involved. The main example of definite knowledge is an official's count.

BUT, in this situation, it was not absolutely necessary for play to be stopped at all. Officials should be aware when the clock does not start in this situation and count to 8 and say "BALL GAME!"
