Correct. CCSP and CCVP as well are restricted for one year like CCIE,
but I believe only Field Engineer roles use these, not System Engineer
ones.

No, for two reasons:
- you must work full time at a partner for him to use your CCIE
number. Renting or letting it use it for free when that's not the case
is at your own risks (up to being striped for life from your CCIE),
and not worth the risk IMHO.
- all your certs are probably linked to the same CSCO number, itself
associated with one Cisco.com account. So I don't think it's possible
to split certs between Cisco.com accounts after the fact.
