You do make a good point, there's no way to tell if Kubo even has that much content left to pull into that big of an arc. And I thought of the whole "a smaller arc and then a very long final" arc ordeal...just because it's rumored to be "small" doesn't mean it's only going to cover say...a single volume of the Manga. It could be small as in maybe 2-3? Could even be as small as at least 25 episodes worth of material, but I wouldn't be completely sure about that...I don't feel it would be only like 10 chapters, unless he said something like "really short" then yeah, condensed to one volume would probably make sense.
