Like 55-60 pages long. Any more chapters and the anime won't be able to cover it all in a single season, even if it's split into 2 parts. Considering that the anime has announced that Season 4 is going to be the last, i imagine that Isayama knows exactly what he wants to draw and how long it will take for him to draw it. After all, Isayama has made it his goal to end the series this year, something he has been saying since 2019. Even his editor said back in August that the series would end very soon.

The most the AoT anime has covered in a single season is 10 volumes. And it took 22 episodes and a reduction in content quantity for the Uprising arc. I find it extremely difficult for the anime to fit 11 volumes in 24-25 episodes, without cutting any content. Any more than that is straight up impossible, especially considering that the series has never produced any more than 25 episodes in a single season (and how hard that is). Even if it's split into 2 parts, i find it hard to believe that 1 part will be 8-10 episodes and the other one 18-20.

Not to mention, that the manga doesn't have a lot of things left at this point. I don't know what people expect to see, when they say that they expect the series to last up to chapter 140+. Floch and the Yeagerists will be dealt with in the next 2 chapters. 1 chapter for Eren's flashback like Zeke in 114. 1-2 chapters for the final "battle" against Eren and an extended bigger chapter for a closure. Fits perfectly. I agree that it probably won't be a lot longer given that Season 4 is due to begin airing in the fall. Six more chapters would have the manga ending in October. That seems feasible. Except it hasn't been confirmed when during the fall anime season this year that season 4 will premiere. It could be in November or December for all we know. All we know about it is that its going to be somewhere between the first weekend in october to the last weekend in December, and that's if Corona Virus doesn't disrupt it. It doesn't matter when the production will start. That's irrelevant. The amount of episodes will remain the same. Even if the production starts 3 months from now, what this means is that the series will be released later, not that the content will change or increase. 6 more chapters is the maximum the manga can reach without the content becoming too much for the anime to handle.
