That's an awfully strong statement. Firstly, they're being real vague on how much time passes. This tells me that either they're making it intentionally vague as to keep the characters as they are for as long as their purposes suit it, or they just aren't paying attention, in which case we won't go past the EoZ until the notion hits Toriyama.
Regarding Pan, she does seem to be a focus in the down-time, but that's all. Even if she is being built up for something, who knows what it is? Toriyama is notorious for not thinking things through. So if he's responsible for any build-up that Pan has gotten, it could lead nowhere, it could lead somewhere after the show's been on for 10 more years, or it could happen in the next big arc. Either way, to say that it will definitely happen is far-fetched, even assuming that Toriyama is responsible for Pan's role, which isn't substantiated in itself.
