To answer your question. Yes! the cranking is continous until either the engine starts or you let off the key. I am not sure about the 4g63 starter, but some toyota starters stop spinning if there is no resistance against the bendix gear.
I think your real problem is why is the car not starting?
Try the usual. Spark? Fuel? Base timing?
