Must've taken a while to work it out.

Eh, I don't think it'd be too difficult, as you said, since he knew the samples being used to begin with. Don't think it would've taken too long to figure out the effects, if you're familiar with production at all, since that Prodigy track is pretty simple and straightforward and repetetive and only has, what, 5 samples? Time stretching/pitch shifting/fucking with EQ are pretty basic, there was only one part of the video that wasn't obvious (something to have to do with using a grainulizer). Either way, it probably would've taken a few hours to deduce what was manipulated and how..
nowadays, though, with all the VST plugins/soft synths.. jesus. It'd be impossible in most cases. I mean, can you imagine someone reconstructing an Autechre track or something?
