He probably screamed it multiple times over the course of an hour or more, which is why the women nearby heard and remembered it.  The author of Mark, decades later, condensed things down to a single statement.

The mechanism by which crucifixion brings about death would seem to make it unlikely that he could have  screamed multiple times to be heard from a good distance away a short time before death.    He would barely be able to draw breath and would struggle just to wheeze.
