Isn't there commonly some limit to the amount of time investors receive payments for later productions (10 years?)

I don't know the specific answer to your question. However, I do know that Harold Prince has stated that it took 17 years for Sweeney Todd to pay off its initial investment. I have read (anecdotally reported) that Sunday in the Park with George was a somewhat similar case. Steven Suskin wrote in one of his Opening Night books that a tour with Gene Kelly (at least a decade after the Broadway run) finally put Take Me Along in the black.
