This would work with any order, but would need to be space-delimited:
define_tag('string_toduration', -req='in');
local('d' = 0, 'h' = 0, 'm' = 0, 's' = 0);
iterate(#in->split(' '), local('i'));
local('u') = string(#i)->removeleading(integer(#i))&;
local(#u) = integer(#i);
/iterate;
return(duration( -day=#d, -hour=#h, -minute=#m, -second=#s));
/define_tag;
string_toduration('1d 17h 45m 22s');
