I'm hoping you are right that Kishi gets to pick however long the last chapter is; then I'd like to think he would go above and beyond by giving us a 50+ page final chapter. That's why I ask if any other Shonen manga that has ended had a larger page count than normal when they ended... Kishimoto doesn't have the time (mostly because he's not quick at drawing, compared to other mangakas) to draw 51 pages for a weekly chapter. He barely manages to draw 17 pages per week. Even so, I'd say he could draw a longer final chapter, but not up to thrice the usual.
