The only possibly significant statement is Cadsuane's belief that one woman can hold her shield, but she's posting two or more to be careful.
Which is funny, because back in the earlier books someone Nyneave strength basically could break any shield from someone of average AS strength, except for that one Kin member with the special talent for shielding.
Semi is definitely around Nyneave's level, so what gives?

Reducing the number of people holding the shield, reduces the strength of the shield correspondingly
