So, in a nutshell, row source from bitmap index 'OR; operations are not selective enough since access to table blocks returns 10 Million rows from 183 rows at bitmap index step. Most of the time is spent in single block reads accessing table blocks with rowids from bitmap segments. Looks like, hash_join is not reducing row count either.
I guess, to reduce that time a) either keep buffer cache huge and reduce single block read I/O b) avoid single block reads by reading one partition or sub-partition. c) use some sort of b-tree index so as to avoid table block reads.
I would probably prefer (b) due to operational nature of your database. Of course, bitmap indices on operational warehouse type tables is a liability, unless bitmap index rebuilding is allowed as a scheduled activity(yuck!).
If you can design a partitioning scheme such a way that your query will access just one sub-partition and read it with multiblock reads, I think, parsing time will be a very small fraction of total elapsed time. Gain will be much more.
