The Time limit on any ETOPS flight be it 120/180/207 etc, is a regultory figure that is based on an agreed speed (that the aircraft often does not do in practice) and still air. If an ETOPS aircraft is operating right on the edge of it's range circle and it looses an engine or goes down to 10,000 it WILL exceed the time limit no question, and this is still perfectly legal.
