The longer one is in a coma the lower the chance they will recover fully from a long coma. I think the stat I learned in nursing school is you lose around 1% muscle every 12h if not used. So in 10 days you can waste quite quickly if you are not being turned, stretched, and stimulated frequently. As for the exact number that depends on the severity of other illnesses. Some people can “live” indefinitely in a coma state.
