No, claiming an article for 3 days means if you can't get it done in three days means that it is larger than the person editing it. Means that the community should get involved. I don't want to separate the random and new editing community from the main editing base that much by granting such a decisive special power as blocking off other users from a section for what could be extended to indefinite if edits are made once every, say 3 days. So no, I won't change the condition of claiming an article, but I can add this fifth condition that an article can't be reclaimed for at least over a week after the claim period has ended, so that way if you feel that it needs re-doing than you get another 3 days to work on it by yourself after being open to the community for 7 days.
