so if I kept my calorie intake at about 400 per day, how long will I survive?

It depends how much fat you have on you, as well as your muscle mass.

You will feed from your fat stores if you are not getting enough energy from your food.
If you do not have much fat, then you will start to degrade your muscles mass for energy instead.

A fat person can survive starvation far longer than a thin person can.

A starvation diet is not healthy though, nobody should willingly choose this.
