VLBI guys usually have a local H1 maser clock, they go through a complex synchronization ritual prior to the start of observations. H1 masers have short-term stability on the order of 1e-16.
GPS synchronization would be a *starting point* for such things.

Does that mean you can integrate for 10 seconds and stay within 0.1 radian
phase drift?

Since those stations would likely not be phase-coherent, then any spectra adding would only improve sensitivity by sqrt(N)--you don't get to effectively use the sum of the effective apertures of the individual stations.
