This is dependent on a number of circumstances. Once a priming strand has been synthesized the cleavage to produce new Okazaki fragments can proceed, however, the availability of nutrients including nucleotide precursors and the metabolic state of the bacterium, along with the temperature all influence the rate.

The synthesis of Okazaki fragments depends on the rate of DNA replication. Different cell types synthesize DNA at different rates under different conditions. There is no absolute answer for this question.

"Synthesis of an Okazaki fragment occurs once every 1 or 2 s at the Escherichia coli replication fork." (whatever that means)
