I don't think this is a thing that modders can 'code'. Sofar I haven't seen a mod that adds a different maptool than those that are allready in there. Or be able to make a user-interface image resize/stretch in realtime ingame by using the mouse. Such (map helper) tools seem to be built-in. It could ofcourse be a nice addition to SH5 though. But that's better suggested to the developers than the modder community.

But I can manage with a circle as a 3-point divider. You could ofcourse use multiple circles for increasingly large time intervals if you really need to project such a long path. The ultimate DIY solution is taking a piece of rubber band and draw equally spaced marks on it, and then stretch it on your screen. But I personally don't like such fit-and-fumble techniques. Just a bit of clever geometry tricks and the answer is there. Love that.
