I'm probably not the best person to ask, as I mentioned, I've fallen behind. But having said that,

Spoiler for possible future events:

from what I can tell, it does look as if this particular story arc may be wrapping up. However, the novels overall, I don't think so. Apparently the new guidebook that was just released at the same time as vol 5 of the manga includes an interview with the author which mentions Mikoto having "a large role in the story soon" with regards to the novels.

Now there's some arguing over on 2ch about exactly when "soon" is, but personally, I can't see her being involved in this part of the story all of the sudden. So for me, I think a likely outcome is kicking off a new major science side arc centered around Touma rather than Accelerator after this arc is done.

And honestly, there have been a number of science side concepts and characters the author has introduced but barely touched on that probably should be dealt with.
