Citizenship question

My case:
Permanent resident since 2009, spouse is US-citizen since 2005.

We went overseas in July 2013 with reentry permit, returned back in July 2014 after 364 days, one day less than a year. We thought that she can apply for naturalization on 2 years plus 1 day rule and filled N400 application in July 2016. But now when I am searching internet, some people are saying 2 ( or 4 ) years plus one day rule applies only if someone is in overseas (out of USA) for more than a year. It don’t apply if someone is less than a year overseas. Now my question is

Weather 2 plus one day rule apply if someone is out of country for more than 6 months but less than 1 year ( 364 days ) for US citizen spouse? Please help as her interview date is approaching and it will be highly appreciated. Thanks
 
This has been discussed before, and the answer is unclear. The text of the rule seems to say it doesn't apply, but some people argue that it does apply.
