Didn't Lara go 10 years on 375 as his highest?
Yes, Lara's 375 was in 1994 and Hayden's 380 came near the end of 2003.
Sunny Gavaskar has an interesting history in this regard. Despite starting with a 65, he managed to post 6 new top scores in his first 8 innings. Took him 8 years to better that 8th inning 220 (I can't be arsed trying to count tests sorry), then by just one run, and another four before he posted his highest score of 236*.

No, no, I meant his own individual highest score, which is what this thread is about. Lara got the 375 in 1994 and then made his 400 in 2004. So he had 10 years with the same highest score which has to be up there for actual specialist batsmen who went the longest with the same highest score.
For the longest gap in time rather than by number of Tests, you have to check a whole new set of players; e.g. Hobbs scored 187 in 1910, and didn't improve on that until 1924. Freddie Brown (74 in March 1933; 79 in January 1951) might have the overall record.

I was just looking for someone who could match Lara but it's tricky. People who had great starts and ends to their careers with lean middle periods... but not that lean as they still had to play for man years.
Carl Hooper got 134 in 1990 and 233 in 2002, and not much in between, but there was that cheeky little 178* in '93 ruining my fun

I mean that just isn't true at all.
I doubt the partnership record of Taylor and Williamson will ever be beaten, Taylor and Ryder for the 4th wicket, highest score for NZ away and he has the most consecutive innings before his first duck record for NZ pretty comfortably.
He has a realistic chance at finishing with more ODI runs and ODI tons than Kane depending on how the future schedules work.
Between Williamson, McCullum and Taylor they'll probably wipe out the majority of our batting records.
