With all the Meta material, and only four episodes to use for the question arcs, a 24-26 episode season should be able to fill out all those pieces that would be...difficult to get in in they went the Higurashi 4 episodes an arc method. But of course they had to run six arcs in 26 episodes and then three in 24. With a 24-26 episode season they can get at least six episodes per arc and padding for when things get more and more complex in the third and fourth arcs.
Also by the time they finish the season (assuming October start time) two more arcs will be released, so they can hint at the start of the answer arcs for a final episode while they get ready for another year to pass and the (supposedly) four answer arcs to be completed.
