Snakes continue to grown throughout their lives, although the growth rate slows down drastically after the first few years, if you can get her eating, she will grow. She probably never will get as big as she might have if she had eaten properly in the first 2-3 years. I have rescued under nourished and very undersized burmese pythons that grew considerably bigger after I started feeding them properly, most of them didn't live very long, 3-5 years after I got them, I don't know about breeding them, I saw too many abandoned and mistreated burmese back then so I refused to breed them and add to the problem.
