On the matter of your OPC, the period of validity shall be 6 calendar months in addition to to the remainder of the month of issue. (EX: OPC on Jan 2. Count 6 months FROM JAN 31, i.e., JULY 31, as the expiry date.)
IF issued within the final 3 calendar months of validity of a previous OPC, the period of validity shall extend from the date of issue until 6 calendar months from the expiry date of that PREVIOUS OPC.
Going back to the example, if for some reason you were made to do an OPC on MAY 29, the validity of that OPC would be until JAN 31 (JUL 31 plus 6 months). That's a period of 8 months.
Cheers!!!
