So the death note cannot be used to extend an individual's life span beyond what is fated for them, but if you had shinigami eyes or another way of knowing that date, you could still use the note to influence others without effectively shortening their lifespan (e.g. shortening it by one second and then guaranteeing a peaceful, rather than painful, death) and potentially locking in those conditions against manipulation from other death notes
There's a maximum time that a death note can kill someone from when the command is drawn in.
Oooh hmmm. Okay. Scratch my idea then
