Nationwide evidence of deposit

Hi Folks!
I sent off my proof of deposit to Nationwide via my mortgage broker last week. I have it spread across 5 savings accounts so I sent the latest statements for all 5. The mortgage broker came back to me yesterday asking for more statements for 3 of them (so they're happy with my help to buy isa and one regular saver) to show how my money got to the savings accounts from my bank account. I have done that now but I'm wondering if that will be the last they ask of me with regards to statements?
I have been saving in savings accounts aside from my help to buy isa and current account for 4 and a half years now so I'm hoping they're not going to want them as far back as that or from even further back! I have most of my statements available filed away but there are a couple of accounts I am missing any statements for from a couple of years or so ago with seemingly no way of retrieving them.
Thank you for any advice or thoughts you may have on this.

    Nationwide criteria;-

    For accounts within the UK, one full month's bank statement is required, showing the full cycle of transactions.
    • It must be dated within 42 days from when the document is uploaded.
    • There must be evidence of at least one month's worth of savings built up in the account.
    • Any 3rd party or cash transactions of £10,000 or more may be queried. If the transaction is a gift, the UK gifts criteria will be followed.
