You can donate three times a year to the red cross (once every 112 days). According to some page, you donate around 10% of your blood volume each time.
That means, for a volume equivalent of 300 people, you’d need to donate 3000 times, which would take around 1000 years.
The vampire is going to need more people, or to keep a person alive 1000 years with vampire magic.
When you’re harvesting the blood iron of your enemies you don’t have time for ethics. A controlled study managed 4 weeks within ethical boundaries, maybe we can cut that in half unethically. So 14 days, 3000 . 14 = 115 years. So when you torture two people, you could manage to do 58 years. Better start early!
Let’s do the math…

Orrrrrr capture the entire family of your foe and then you can name the sword something super cool about ending family lines
Maybe the sword is just the product of a small cult which drains blood to create it?
And then they do really cool cult stuff with the sword?
3 times a year? Where i live you cab give 1/2l every two weeks at a bloodbank.
And i can take more and by that activate a immune response to produce way more.
But remember they are your enemy so you could drain a bit more blood more often to shave a few years off maybe
