Another thing that would have helped pad the journey and make it feel like it actually took a while would be training montages - such as Ruby and Nora learning their lightning strike attack that they used against the Geist. Or shown us the reason behind Jaune;s upgrades beyond 'he has some good metal to do it with now'. Maybe his old armour got a broken strap or something, or his sword simply wasn't strong enough to cut thrugh the hide of a Grim alone.

Some more info on various families would have been nice. They could have shown a campsite of just the four o them where someone took watch, and Jaune could have shared stories of his sisters around the campfire. And then as Piscean said, had them spend a few days in Higanbana because of downpour (which they complain about but are sort of glad for because it means they can relax after a hard journey for a little bit) and see a bit more of the culture and village, maybe restocked supplies.
