  Most positions with K+R+R vs K+Q are either dead draws or quickly come down to checkmate, a win with K+R vs K, or a loss with K+R vs K+Q. But occasionally one may run into a longer analysis. According to <https://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/longest-checkmates/longest-checkmates.shtml> the longest K+R+R vs K+Q win is a mate in 29, and the longest loss is mate in 46; to be sure these counts include the K+R/K and K+Q/K+R codas, but it still takes about 15 moves to get there.
