User blog comment:Lemursrule/Bleach dub update-8 week hiatus to dub new episodes/@comment-999343-20121118053301/@comment-1351982-20121119010250

My theory is that they probably have up to 283 dubbed. But what I think is taking them longer is all those one-shot episodes, because of the cast size and since it isn't a continuous storyline (like a fight) it probably takes longer to dub. I wouldn't be surprised if they just are taking the eight weeks to finish the arrancar arc, and will take another hiatus to dub the "arc that shall not be spoken of…EVER!"
