The reduction in time isn't based on what aircraft you are making, but the assembly facilities (which were apparently upgraded in '98 for the Eurofighter).

Well by that measurement the Tornado was built at a rate of less than two a year, which means that the 920 Tornados scheduled to be built for Britain, Germany and Italy would have taken nearly 500 years to build since the first Tornado rolled off the production line in 1981.
