If a take home assignment takes more than 2-3 hrs, or is one of those “spend as much time as you like”, you’re in a not great situation. The mgr likely doesn’t know exactly what he’s looking for, or likely doesn’t care too much about employee welfare.
If you find yourself here, stand up for yourself. Say you have a number of interviews going on and that you are happy to do a 2-3 hr assignment (the same as an on-site interview).
