Based on the link I posted with the policy, I understood that they are separate limits. For example:
Your written is good for up to 36 months. ALSO, within that time, you must attempt the lab within 18 months or else your written is no longer good for CCIE lab attempts. ALSO, after that first lab attempt, you must make another attempt within 12 months. But regardless of how many lab attempts you make, your written is good for no longer than 3 years. I made my first attempt *just* under 18 months after my written (the week before my 18 months was up) and then my second attempt within 7 months of my first.
