Unlike the situation with a traditional IRA, an EDB who inherits a Roth IRA can always elect the 10-year rule if they wish, no matter how old the Roth IRA owner was at death. On page 11 of the revised publication, IRS says the 10 years end at the end of the 10th year after death.

• Open an inherited IRA and withdraw all the funds within 10 years. You do not have RMDs, but the maximum allowed distribution period is 10 years.
• Open an inherited IRA and stretch RMDs over your lifetime.
