It's not simple for an Entry widget, see the instance:

Making it just one label would mean rewording the whole thing to make it
so that everything that constitutes the label can be put on the left,
and have the text currently editted on the right.  It's not always so
easy, and makes the "accessible" information different from what shows up
on the screen, which is really not a good thing to do.

I don't know html's aria etc. so much, but it's be something like

<label for="entry">Interpret as years between</label>
<input id="entry" value="1930">
<label for="entry">and 2029</label>
