I broke an extremely tight tuocha apart a couple of months ago by
steaming it briefly, breaking it apart, and then redrying it. Then I
forgot about it. Now I am curious--I understand it will age faster
than compressed puer because it is looseleaf, but if I age it for a
year or two, will there be a significant drop in quality, or will it
taste similar to a slightly older aged compressed puer?

What if I break a cake into smaller pieces (of about 5-10g each) and
store them in a jar? Will that age the tea faster without fading the
quality?

Any ideas/experience in this area?
