small correction:
the Org has only been on the island for a bit over 100 years.
so, your statement of millenia and even centuries is incorrect.
thus, it's ~7 years that separates the Eras (marked by a changing of rank 1's, or a large amount of Claymores being killed and replaced):
7+7=14
~100 / 14 = ~7 years long for each Era
1st Era: Isley
2nd Era: Riful
3rd Era: Luciela
4th Era: Rosemary
5th Era: Teresa
6th Era: Clare (+Alicia+Beth)
7th Era: Clarice (+Alicia+Beth)
Teresa was from 77th generation not 5th, if you multiply that by 7 yers it will be a lot more than just a century.
About this, we don't know how "generation" is defined. My guess would be that "77th generation" means "the 77th girls who were sent to Claymore-camp", and if, i.e., a numbered Claymore dies (from gen. 76) , a replacement (gen. 77) is at hands.
Miria says that about 100 years ago the mainland-people begun their war, so, if my thesis was right, Theresa would be in the 77th training center, + the age difference between meets-Theresa-Claire and meets-Raki-Clare (let's say 10) + 7 years timeskip + a few years to get the idea to make human weapons on an isolated island and establishing the organisation (1-3?) would fit the 100 years. I think Claire said once that Claymores don't die of age or have a longer lifespan than humans or don't age at all (which would explain that Isley is maybe over a 100 years old), but I don't feel like doing the research.
Or the author just didn't tought about all the details when he made some statements.
