Yes, there was a cap of more than 180 days in between the first H4 expiration date and the H4 extention approval date.
INS approved her H4 extention eventhough there was a cap of more than 180 days. Her H4 extension expires before her husband H1B expires. So technically it is in continuation with the previuos card.
It reminds me of a case where the H4 was not extended along with her husband's H1 as he dint know he had to extend the wife's H4 too..they realized it and filed for his H1 extension again and attached her H4 too in regular processing..it was approved along with his H1 ...but not sure it was re-instated since the last H4 expiry date and he was happy about it at that time
