You can't have a different retention policy.

You could set your copy pool to have a longer reuse delay (tapes spend longer in pending state), and ensure you keep DB backups offsite for a longer period. To restore from one of the old offsite tapes, you would need to restore the older db to be able to access the tape. This is not a painless solution.
