If they have the standard 12 episodes, then it's not quite mid-season. Besides, the implication is he's close not he's right on their doorstep. If he rolls into town the very same night as RNJR and Qrow, we get the big season battle in the next few episodes. As in, the very next one that focuses on RNJR, since he's literally right on top of them. Which is likely to be episode 7 or 8.

However, if he's a few days behind then we get another episode of buildup, and then the big season battle happens in the episode after, as in 10 or 11, possibly 12. Where it belongs.
