The longest recorded time is 11 days, however there is no known fatal limit.

We become severely impaired and begin microsleeping after 48 hours.

They could take turns sleeping while the others keep them safe. 4 hours of sleep, 8 hours awake to watch your buddy. Not saying it would be a very comfortable sleep, but they obviously survived (some how)!
