Her individual race competitive record suggests a move to the 400 (bolded), but her average finish there was 2.0. For the 200 it was 1.6.
There has been some water under the bridge since her last Big 200, but the training for the 200 is less 'abrasive' to a 35yo body than the 400. The speed work is very similar, but there's more of it in the 400.

I think she's focusing on the 200 now because
a. it's her signature event, and
b) it's less wear and tear.
I would think she could still run on the Mixed 4x4 with just 200 training.
She's a National Treasure and as such, she has earned special treatment, as long as the high-level fitness is there. This indoor 200 shows she's still got 'it'.
