What I'm trying to say is, in Khiravn's case, the years on the Score were not high and the hours were not high, but he'd surpassed, through wither, a hidden internal counter of years, as opposed to hours. (I suspect). So, with my theory, barring age affects, humans should last around 400-411, half elves 450ish, 250exp penalties 520ish, and 500 exp penalties, 700ish.
