But does it say anywhere how frequently that 110% for less than 5 seconds can be used before there is an engineering penalty?

Common sense would say that a single event should be fine in the life of the gearbox but multiple events must have an effect on the wear and life of the gears.

Leaving it open to pilot's interpretation/guesswork is surely not what the manufacturers had in mind.
