Offshore Bond Withdrawals

Is the 20 year tax deferred allowance with bonds actually 20 years, or is it because 5% x 20 =100%
I am just trying to discern what the position is if a client decides to not take any of there 5% tax deferred withdrawals until after this period.
So for example, if a client had held an offshore bond for say 26 years, could they then commence the 5% tax deferred withdrawals until year 46?
