I don't think anyone knows as of yet, but if every single genin team (not just canon but anime-only as well) is given screen time then prepare for alot. Related to that: Considering that the longest anime-only arc, Three-Tails' Appearance, ran for a full 23 episodes and the multitude of plot points (the political climate (every village is confirmed to have an agenda) and the abundance of new characters) this arc boasts, it might be able to top that number, but I highly doubt that it'll come any where near the whooping 47 episodes that the Chūnin Exams (Arc) dished out.
