We seem to be talking a lot about the Arda-Armageddon Last Battle recently...
No, I don't think so. 'Life-spans' are to do with hroa, the body; a Man's lifespan is threescore years and ten, rather longer these days of course, but that does not mean that the spirit of a Man ceases to exist after this period.
The body dies, the fea goes somewhere else. That the Elves' life is 'that of Arda' surely means than when Arda dies, they do as well, and are finally released from it -- as will the Valar and Maiar of Ea be. What exactly will happen is unknown, but I think the proposition that the race of Elves, the Firstborn Children of Illuvatar, shall merely cease to exist after Arda (while the Ainur and Men continue on) is quite an absurd one.
