I think it depends greatly on the story. For example Hantsuki was only 6 eps, but managed to pull off a great story in a short time. This is because the actual story content was small. However if, for example, you tried to fit Clannad into a 13 ep show it would turn horribly rushed and wouldn't end up being a good series at all. I think they underplanned for the number of eps, or were unable to get the length they wanted from the network which left them in a rush situation. But i don't really see any ep that was completely pointless and a waste of time. One could argue that the comedy episodes with Hinoko could be cut or shortened, but i think they show off her character as a potential main female and were a nice cut through all the intensive drama arcs.
