Nicholas van Rijn's first trade pioneer crew of David Falkayn, Adzel and Chee Lan operated for over twenty years. Coya Conyon was with them for five years. For an additional five or just for the last five of the twenty? We see the original team without Coya, and before van Rijn temporarily reassembled it, only in:
"The Trouble Twisters"
"Day of Burning"
Satan's World
"Lodestar"
According to Sandra Miesel's Chronology of Technic Civilization, the first three of these instalments are set in the 2430s whereas "Lodestar" is in 2446. I know that the precise dates cannot be known but am just trying to get a sense of lengths of time.
My main point here is that we see very little of those twenty or twenty-five years. We want to see a lot more, including a collection of stories set during the five years when Coya is with the team.

Kaor, Paul!
And I'm simply not satisfied with Miesel's proposed dates. And you made a more accurate ordering of the Flandry stories, using hints found in their texts.
Ad astra! Sean
