1 day is the shortest available but you can expire at any time by using the bpexpdate command. Howver, care should be exercised when using this command. Please review this technote:
In some circumstances, the modification of image expiration dates (using the bpexpdate command) can lead to database inconsistencies and possible data loss.

ALSO
if you are expiring images ealy then I suggest you read this technote:
The VERITAS NetBackup (tm) image database does not clean up expired images on the expiration date.
