No, this cannot be adjusted.

Timeouts are handled separately for each ConnectTo. So if you have
multiple ConnectTo's, they will all be tried in parallel, and each has
its own timeout that starts at 5 seconds, gets incremented by 5 every
time it fails, but it will never increase it beyond MaxTimeout.

So if you have a connection to A that is failing, and after a while the
timeout for it is 300 seconds, and if a working connection to B
suddenly fails, then tinc will try to reconnect to B after 5 seconds.
