Don't waste time thinking about it. If a human has verified them all as spam, then report everything, even the years old stuff. Razor checks are SHA1 digests - 20 bytes. If you have 10,000 spams on file, it's only 20K of data, even with no repeats. Even 100,000 spams aren't going to impact the database enough to warrent trimming.
