Are there any differences between the schedules, apart from the backup type ? In theory, full should take longer than differential. What backup software are you using ? Perhaps you defined different numbers of media streams for the backup types, or compression, etc, etc. Some more information might be handy, i.e.: What are you backupping, what software, agents, etc ?

It takes about 4 hours for a full backup, and I have set aside 11 hours (before I have the job auto-cancelled) for the differentials, and it has been cancelled every time. I understand that it takes time diffing everything, but this seems a little more than I expected. Should I be running incrementals instead?
