GRRM has said there will be no new POVs.  While he might add one for coverage (like Barristan in ADWD), it won't be Nym or Tyene; certainly not 15 chapters worth.

Cersei will win her trial, but I doubt she becomes regent.  Margaery will win as well.  They can't afford to anger a powerful family like the Tyrells, especially since they have no case.  As long as Jaime is missing, the Lannister army isn't returning.  Anyway, it's down to a few hundred men or so.

The Vale is Sansa's playground.  It's where she will learn political persuasion and start to become a player.  Littlefinger is being set up as her antagonist; someone she has to figure out and deal with.  Her dealing with him will be her coming out party, so to say.  If he dies in TWOW it will be late in the book and the result of Sansa's actions.

Not sure what happens with Aegon.  He will probably have more of an effect in KL than the Vale.

Oh, and there will be new characters as well.   No new viewpoints, I promise you that, but with all these journeys and battles and scheming to come, inevitably our major players will be encountering new people in lands far and near

So who could be the new characters and the far lands?

You're currently at 106 chapters, without counting any POVs in the Vale or even having started on Essos. ASoS, the most chapter-heavy of the books so far, is 81 chapters, including the prologue and epilogue. The others range between 69 and 72 chapters (except AFfC, 45 chapters). Needless to say, I think you're a bit off.

But not twice as many, a milestone you're close to reaching already. Your latest batch is an additional +27 chapters, for a subtotal of 133, still with no Daenerys and no count of the Vale chapters. Assuming twenty-something chapters for each of those too, your estimate is up to 170-180 chapters. And that still leaves some plot arcs like Lady Stoneheart, the debacle at the Wall, Bran, and Arya. The book will be longer, sure, but not that much longer.

7 Sansa Chapters (+7)

Beyond the wall

pov : Melisandre- 10 chapters, Bran - 10 chapters (+20)

Stoneheart

pov: Jaime- 5 chapters, Brienne- 13 chapters  (+18)

So no Daenerys POV yet (and no Jon Snow, but he might lack a POV considering his, er, condition), and you're already at 208 chapters. The book with the most chapters in the series so far had 81. Can't you see that this is a little over-the-top?

I think Jon Connington will have a psychotic episode triggered by bells but I don't think Aegon will marry Elia and I don't think Margaery will be found guilty at her trial. The Faith said the evidence against her was weak and there is also a huge army backing her up. I also think that from a thematic standpoint Nymeria, Tyene and Obara will have to pay for their desire to harm innocents.

There was also a theory someone else had that I liked, Obara, Areo Hotah and Balon Swann would go to hunt down Darkstar for his attack on Myrcella and supposed attack on Ser Arys, Hotah would have secret orders to kill Balon, but then Darkstar and Balon would end up teaming up on Obara and Hotah after Darkstar revealed that Hotah killed Arys and was ordered to kill him.

He said no new viewpoint characters.  To me, that means no new POVs, existing characters or not.  He has 20 already, so there isn't much room for more.

You are already up to 208 chapters.  That's more than ASOS, AFFC, and ADWD combined.  We're not getting TWOW in 3 volumes.  Even if two volumes, which GRRM wants to avoid, I doubt it would be much over 100.  120 would be the outer maximum, but I have a hard time seeing even that.

The Wall:  Jon survives his injuries, but is comatose for a while.  There is fighting, but Jon's loyalists carry the day, with help from wildlings and Queen's men.  The Others attack, but do not immediately breach the Wall.

Far North:  Davos picks up Rickon in Skagos, but eventually ends up at Hardhome.  Things go badly, and he winds up going North.  Benjen reappears, having something to do with the Others (spying or negotiating).  Rickon is still north of the Wall at the end of TWOW.   Bran gets training in the cave, but ultimately he (or Meera) discovers disturbing things about his hosts, and he decides to flee via the underground river, which empties near the Shadow Tower.  He makes his way toward Winterfell.

The North:  Stannis wins the Battle of Winterfell with help from the turncloak Karstarks.  Roose dies, Ramsay flees to the Dreadfort, and holes up there.  The Others break through, but progress is slow.  Sansa shows up to help the Northerners, and Arya eventually arrives with the wolfpack.  Eventually, a big meeting is held at Winterfell to organize the resistance to the Others.

Riverlands:  Jaime is taken to Stoneheart.  Convinces her to let him arrange the release of the Frey prisoners.  The release is successful, but the Freys realize they have been tricked, and Jaime is killed in the subsequent fight.  Fighting resumes between Lannister troops and Brotherhood.  Brienne remains, and meets up with Arya, who has arrived from Braavos.  They broker a truce.

Arya:  She continues training but is on thin ice with the FM.  Jeyne Poole's arrival causes her to resume her identity as Arya Stark and head to Riverlands, where she hopes to meet up with Gendry and the rest of the Brotherhood, as well as her wolf.  After arranging for an end to fighting in the Riverlands, they head North to help in the fight against the Others.

That's all for now.   If half of this actually happens, I will be shocked.

ETA: I dealt with the Vale and Kings Landing in an earlier post.  Meereen and Oldtown I'm not sure of.

It’s matter of interpretation.

Not my fault the story left is big. It will take at least a decade to narrow it down, which is what’s currently happening.
