Remember, Toki and her friends have about the same episodes devoted to them as Tsuruga and Momo (this includes the parts with Yumi of course), and yet in Achiga-hen it seems a substantial chunk of the story so far (large parts of 4 episodes out of a 12-episode series!).
If the extra episodes are indeed going to be used to put the spotlight back on on Achiga, well, it's a very delayed effort, especially since they ARE using extra-seasonal content to do so.

You're forgetting one very crucial factor, she's facing MIYANAGA TERU, you know, the ruthless god empress of mahjong fans have been waiting YEARS to see in action, and Toki's been the one facing her from the get go (with some SUBARA help, of course). Ritz must know just how hyped this match has been, so there's no way the focus on Toki is un-intentional.
For further evidence, check the manga, particularly the final words in chapter 10. Ritz is making sure to let us know just how monstrous Teru is.
