Maybe not that far. It suits better to RWBY's style to keep time a bit vaque. What bothers me is how the information we have gotten from the creators is in conflict with the information we get from the show itself.

For example, they could have make Blake or Sun say that the attact was a month or two ago when they were on the boat and later (when the story was following Yang) Tai could have said something like "It has already been six months". Of course, that could have confused other people, but if the creators had explained that  time works this way in volume 4, I'm sure that could have worked.

Different time periods could also explain why Adam was "missing" in the newscast that Yang was watching. If Blake's story is happening in past compared to Yang, Adam could already be in Menagerie like Fennec and Corsac hinted he would.
