IIRC, Romanda didn't unswear any of the Oaths, she just reswore one. There's no reason to think that reswearing would have any additional effect on her lifespan than whatever effect she was under already.
So, I'm not sure this tells us anything.
So, I'm not sure this tells us anything.
Here is the quote
TGS
Sealed to the Flame
Romanda took the Oath Rod, and did as instructed, releasing herself from the oaths. The process was obviously painful, but she held herself to a controlled, hissing intake of breath. The others watched carefully for a trick, but Romanda was straightforward in reswearing. She handed the rod back to Egwene. "I am not a Darkfriend," she said. "And I never have been."

Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all
