Good points. I should rephrase the question and probably re-post later. I'm most interested in knowing what percent of the working day a technical cofounder spends coding.

The problem with raw hours is that it's less meaningful without the total hours. Ultimately I'm trying to understand how these people balance their days. Coding vs. non coding

You're asking two separate questions here. Try not to merge them into one. Try this.

During your start-up phase, on average, how many hours a day do you spend on:

a. Coding

b. Non-coding activities (related to your start-up)

That way you can deduce total hours spent (on average per day) on the start-up.

Also it would be useful for you to ask how long the 'start-up' period lasted.

Good points, thanks for this!
