(keeping your sentence structure)

la .tcumac. ba gi crepu lo cindynarge gi pejgau ri lo matci gi'e gasnu 
lo nu lo solgu'i ze'a lo djedi be li ji'i pamu ji'i reno cu jai sudri'a 
lo cindynarge

Yes, it looks a bit more complicated, but using {gasnu} is important to 
get the right scope. You don't necesserily want to say that the "making 
it happen" takes 20 days (it should only take a minute or so to place 
them on the mats). The caused event however is to last 20 days.

(In your sentence, there is a slight problem with quantification. {crepu 
da poi cindynarge} talks about singular (.i.e. individual) acorns, but 
then you continue to say that each acorn individually "spreads out" on a 
mat. I'd prefer a plural referent in the x1 of preja. Under the current 
singularist logic, you have to use {lo} or the experimental {su'oi} to 
get plurals. I'm putting this in brackets because it's too advanced for 
the beginners list, but important enough to be mentioned. There is a lot 
that can be said about the translated sentence!)
