Basically the way the deathnote 's time limit works is that he has those 40 seconds to start writing the details of the death (if he's going to, obviously) and once he starts writing them, the deathnote will give him 6 minutes 40 seconds more, so in those 40 seconds he has the time to decide if he wants to add details or not, if he doesn't, the death note will just to the job after the 40 seconds end.
They don't really explain it that well in the anime but I have a deathnote myself and there are a lot more rules in there than you'd expect.
But you're like really good at finding all the clues and predicting light's next moves, when I watched deathnote i didn't catch up to things until they literally happened hahaha, love these reactions. ❤️

Well keep in mind that Light also wants to kill Raye Penbar specifically in order to somehow get closer to L so he can figure out who he is
