I guess the second {now} was supposed to be {later} or something?
No, if spoken the temporally separated 'now's would be spoken such that it was obvious to the speaker that it was referring to the time between the first mark and the second mark---about a second and a half I'd guess. Similar to the usage when syncronyzing watches with "12:30 as of... now". I had expected the formatting to convey to most readers a similar message but for reading---so a bit under a second. But not all readers have the same intuitions regarding ad hoc markup.
