Just like Moiraine is about 20% below her potential in New Spring and states that it will take her 5-6 years to reach her final potential.
Nynaeve's rapid growth is a fact in the books from TGH-TSR, but that could simply be due to her actively channeling on a daily basis for the first time. Suddenly she's being Forced and her growth is at an amazing rate. But there is a cap when she'll slow down in growth to a degree, but even still it's less than a year between her facing Moghedien and the Cleansing which likely finalized her potential.
Don't forget the timeline of the entire series is only about 2 years and the timeframes in the early books are much longer than in later books. It's well over a year from EoTW and when Nynaeve fights Moghedien, a few months later she breaks her block and a few months after that she's at full potential from the Cleansing. It makes perfect sense that she has a period of rapid growth followed by a slow progression to her final potential.
In just over 2 years Nynaeve goes from being about at about 50% to full strength ... makes sense that about half way through the timeline she's just over 90%.
