I'm not sure Princess Cadence is the size of a normal pony. After all, remember the only time we have seen her so far, the only size comparision has been with Shining Armor, who appears to be the size of Big Mac. That makes him much larger than most other ponies. Also, the Princess Cadence toy is the same size as Princess Celestia.

As far as the elements of harmony extending lifespans, I don't know why you would go there. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are obviously goddesses. That couldn't be made any more clear unless they cam right out and said it. Luna herself is named after the Greek Goddess of the Moon (Luna is the Roman name for Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess). In fact, in some of the toys, Princess Luna is actually named Princess Selene instead. Princess Celestia's name is latin, and translates into both "divine" and "heavenly". They control the sun and the moon. They appear to be immortal. The ponies use the name of Celestia the same way many humans use the name of god (with Celestia as my witness, and so on). And in the most recent episode (granted it's a little creepy), there is even a Cerberus (who appears to be associated with Celestia) that guards the crossing into Tartarus (part of the underworld across the river Styx). Again, I don't know how much clearer they could make things really without directly coming out and saying it.
