Based on the ultimate number of shots we take with each club, practice time should be divided something like this:

putting - 50% (36/72)
driver/wood - 20% (14/72)
long shots - 10% (8/72)
mid/short shots - 20% (14/72)

Since short iron shots are more important than mid and long, you should probably spend even more time on that aspect of the game. Also, unless you are a scratch player, the number of short shots and putts in a round are larger which should increase their practice percentage as well.
