If it's ~26 episodes, it would be ideal to end with the Tenri Arc, if they can get there.

As for a girls/episode ratio, that's gonna vary. For Ayumi, even though it also includes introductions for most of the regulars, they could still probably squeeze it into one episode. Most of the rest would be two, with some longer. I'm more intereseted in how they'll handle some of the "filler" miniarcs, the usually Elsee-centric ones where he's not capturing a target, that are rarely more than a chapter in length. Most of them could be done in 15 minutes each. Maybe they'll have a FMP-like setup where the "filler" miniarcs are two to an episode (like Fumoffu) while the capture arcs are however many it takes (like TSR).
Even with a double-length season, we'd still only be able to get in fifty-two chapters (assuming two chapters per episode). That makes it fall a couple episodes shy of the Tenri arc, so to fit it in, they'd have to cut out a heroine or two, or maybe drop some of the between-arc goofing around.
