cumbersome (but with the right regex probably much easier) but feasible:

${eval:\
${if match {1d10h17m36s} {\N(\d+)w\N} {$1*7*24*60*60+}}\
${if match {1d10h17m36s} {\N(\d+)d\N} {$1*24*60*60+}}\
${if match {1d10h17m36s} {\N(\d+)h\N} {$1*60*60+}}\
${if match {1d10h17m36s} {\N(\d+)m\N} {$1*60+}}\
${if match {1d10h17m36s} {\N(\d+)s\N} {$1+}}\
0}
