If someone is trying to speak but is having a hard time, it's nice and helpful to offer assistance or create space for them. You can say, 'What's your opinion, chest number 73? Is it okay if we make this decision?' Remember to use your own words and avoid copying me in addressing the situation.

There's no big advantage in starting or joining a group discussion at a particular time. What matters is how well you take part, talk, and contribute to the group. Be observant, confident, and actively involved, no matter when you jump in. Just make sure your discussion is effective; it shows others that you can express yourself well.

It's not just about when you talk, but about how good your ideas are and how well you work with the group. Even if you speak last, you can still make a valuable impact by observing, summarizing, and adding fresh insights to the discussion.

It's generally not beneficial to take more time than necessary.

No problem. Just clarify your perspective and give your logic. Remember sometimes less is more. Hope you heard a novel  "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." by Ernest Hemingway. In fact, the novel comprises of only those six words!
