The first event seemed to happen quicker, while the second one
seems more drawn out. I wonder if this tells us something about the
masses of the two new blackholes? Specifically will the fact that
it happened much slower for the second set of black holes, would
that mean that they were smaller black holes than the first set
from the September detection/February announcement?

Yes. See item 2 in the press release at
