Hello,
If you are planning to run the generated code in an interrupt routine which fires periodically according to its sampling period (compared to an infinite loop in the "main" function), the sampling time should be enough to run all code and have a small margin in case of delays (about 10%).
If the code takes longer to run than the sampling times allows it, the microprocessor will keep adding tasks to be executed and errors will occur (stack overflowing etc.). By running the same code in a "while" loop for example, as soon as the execution will finish, it will start again.
Hope I answered your question.
