You're really too hung up on that suggestion. Nothing I swear on, doesn't have to happen, but I could see it. Something really significant is going to happen in chapter 1000 and right now that's just a hunch I have. This arc is pretty straightforward now with two opposing sides (keep in mind that while you mention that there are two Yonko, Marineford featured three at different points. These two either win together or lose together in the same battle), so matter how long it takes my real confidence is closer to guessing that the flow will be different from Marineford.

I understand that possibility. My argument is that with the amount of setup, the payoff there would be way too small in terms of panel time. Its like watching a 3 hour action movie full of dialogue then only getting 20 minutes of action at the end of the film, nothing more. Was it satisfying? Was it worth it? The arc isn't just about Kaido/BM. Its about Orochi and the 9 Scabbards, Kanjuro, Momo and Hiyori, Tama and Tengu. There are myriad of other smaller plotlines in Wano that frankly cannot be addressed in 20 chapters, let alone introducing 10+ Main Beasts Pirates characters and defeating them faster than they arrived, on top of another Yonko and her crew.
I'm just specifying that Oda has yet to rush the conclusion of an arc, in fact, most of the time he extends it beyond where people even want it to last. Then there's the whole matter of building up and paying off everything else the story has, which if there is any indication on how he ties up every other arc (and we'll see how long Wano's is), its going to be much longer than anticipated.
Everything revolves around panel presence and time.

Wano is most certainely going to be the longest arc in all of One Piece with the raid on Onigashima, the Rocks Pirates flashback, the arrival of Nekomamushi and allies and of the marines or the CP0, the final battle and Kaido's fall and the aftermath remaining.
After that we may get Elbaf arc which will have additionnal lore about the Void Century, may show either the Blackbeard Pirates or the Red Hair Pirates or both in addition of Loki and his father and the New Giant Warriors Pirates, BM and her crew (family and Streusen) and possibly Dory and Broggy.
After there may be a Loadstar Island arc as Loadstar may be the important Island described by Inuarashi. It may contain a final clue about Laugh Tale.
Finally we will see Laugh Tale arc with the final battle against the Blackbeard Pirates, Luffy finally becoming the Pirate King and the truth about the Void Century being finally revealed.
Then there will be the final war against Imu and the Celestial Dragons and then the epilogue.
It's also possible that we may see a Vegapunk storyline, an Emerald City or a Moon arc.

Chapter 100- the one we know Oda rushed for, Dragon appears for the first time, the Strawhats make their Grand Line vows.
Chapter 200- not really anything earthshattering, it's just a fight with Crocodile. Not even Luffy's dramatic comeback and him hitting Crocodile for the first time
Chapter 300- the party starts after beating Enel, he goes to the moon
Chapter 400- the Strawhats crash into the Tower of Justice, start the CP-9 fights
Chapter 500- Rayleigh introduced
Chapter 600- not really a big deal, 601 is designed to mirror Chapter 1 though (it's called Romance Dawn for the New World, ends with Luffy saying he'll be the Pirate King)
Chapter 700- it was a relatively hype chapter, confirmation that Buggy became a Warlord, we find out Doflamingo had the Mera, ends with the Strawhats seeing Dressrosa
Chapter 800- big one, Grand Fleet formed, Dressrosa ends with party
Chapter 900- BM eats the cake, Oda gives us the shit "omg the Sunny has been sunk!" cliffhanger
Based on the past Oda will try and fit something big into chapter 1000, but there's not a guarantee he'll manage it. For some of them the real big moments happened just before or just after the hundred chapter, making me think he was trying to fit it in for then but couldn't quite manage it.
