Without looking at CCO where I found it the first time, I think subsequent lab reattempts must be made every 12 months for the written to remain valid. After 3 years, if the lab has still not been passed, another written test is required. I would verify on CCO though.

I don't know if you get another 18 months when you attempt the lab, maybe someone else has an answer on that one.
