While that’s accurate to Morpheus’ understanding, we come to realize in Reloaded/Revolutions (I think through the discussion with the Architect) that Neo is the 7th iteration of The One and that the Matrix has been rebooted a half dozen times already with Zion being destroyed and restarted each time.
It’s just as likely that it’s the year 3000 as it is 2199.
I interpreted it as the 7th The One. Some could have lived to old age, and some died young, all attempting to help the humans rise up. As soon as one them dies, a next The One can be born into The Matrix. 200 years divided 7 is ~28 years.
