She has 20 seconds total - it is not divided up as to stepping on the plate, bringing the hands together and starting the pitch.
NFHS 6-1-1-c does in fact require that the hands be together "not more than 10 seconds". That 10 second issue is consistent with ASA, ISF, and pretty much everyone EXCEPT NCAA (as stated by others, 5 seconds).

While the 20 second rule penalty is a ball, the 10 second violation is stil an illegal pitch.
