No, we do not think the life span is longer, we think he is special in that regard, Remember his, "I have made more mistakes then any Man, woman or child on this planet"? That was the writers screaming at us that there is something unnatural about him, like Yang's comment about Blake's bow, and then there is Glynda's comment that "Ozpin has experiences the rest of is lack. And I think that is something worth remembering" that is meant to be proof that he is older then anyone else.
