You could always use the time period for yahren in Richard's books too--250 days would make a 200 yahren lifespan equal to 120 years which there is something in scripture (I seem to remember it being in Genesis after the flood story) about the number of a man's years being 120. No one got older than that (in the Bible) after the flood, if I remember right. That was just a quirk in Richard's books I thought was fun, but I could be whacked about my math.
