each epoch should be shorter than the last
Poll: What duration should the informal narrative unit “epoch” assumed to be when talking about human history?

Yeah this. Epochs should decrease (maybe exponentially) and their limiting point is the singularity

It's not a length, it's a point in time.

log scale: epoch length = 1/4th of how long ago it started.

Epochs are event or feature delimited by definition, so a uniform duration should not be assumed. However, the Era is the subunit of the Epoch & the Eon is the superunit, so, however you define an Epoch, Epoch & Eon give upper & lower bounds respectively.

* Should be "Eon & Era give upper & lower bounds" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hard to say. Only real answer is they get shorter the closer to the present you are
-
That was my first thought too. Could that be a function of there simply being more humans alive as time goes on?
