I dont think that is what it means. Redemption is erasing the stain of past sins from one's soul/honour/whatever. Penance is hard labour or suffering taken ensured on account of past sins. Penance is usually undertaken for the purpose of earning redemption mind you.

I believe in Galio's case, what he is saying is that his penance is indefinate, he will never actually earn redemption for his mistakes, he just has to keep suffering and labouring eternally for them.
