Yunyu Kakunin-sho: is there a maximum rX amount/length of stay it can support?

I've been looking at the Yunyu Kakunin-sho process recently, and while the documentation's very clear that it's required in most cases for bringing more than 30 days worth of a prescription with you, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out if there's a maximum e.g. number of days or dosage they're likely to permit.

I've seen some folks (on reddit) say they've gotten approval for 6 months, or even a year, but I assume you're unlikely to get approval to bring, say, multiple years of medication with you (e.g., if you're studying at a university)? Am I wrong about that (and you could actually get multiple years of personal-use rX approved in a single Yunyu Kakunin-sho), or is there any way to get a sense of what is 'reasonable' to request? If a Yunyu Kakunin-sho is rejected because the maximum period/amount to be brought was judged as too long, would they give an approval for a shorter period, or just reject it fully and require re-submission?
