They originally intended for Volume 1, Volume 2, and half of Volume 3 to all be one single season. Some of the non-plot stuff that happened in Volume 2 wasn't initially planned to happen there, but they realized there were some things they needed to have happen because they wouldn't be able to do things like that after the Fall of Beacon. So, they had to add more stuff right there, which pushed back some of their plans and made those plans take up half of Volume 3. The Maidens stuff wasn't originally planned either, but Monty came up with it after they finished making Volume 2, so that added even more padding to the show.

So, as far as things after Volume 1 are concerned, I think we can chalk that up to them adding in more stuff either because they realized they needed to before a certain plot point or because Monty had an idea and really wanted to add it.

Volume 1 was mostly just introducing us to the characters, their world, and how things work, and then finishing it off with giving us a small introduction to antagonists and plot. But Volume 1 was basically originally planned to be the first half of the first season, before they realized they couldn't do that with the way that their funding and team were set up at the time. Production limitations and all that.

So, basically... from what I can gather from what we know, what they originally tended to deliver us was


 * Season 1 - Ruby starting her attendance at Beacon, all the way through the Fall of Beacon, minus every single thing about the Maidens and some of the stuff in Volume 2.


 * Season 2 - Start off with what is now Volume 4, probably include Volume 5.

But instead, Season 1 got split up into Volumes 1 and 2, and then stuff got added into Volume 2, which split it up into being Volume 2 and half of Volume 3, and then Monty came up with the Maidens, which filled up more of Volume 3, resulting in the beginning of Season 2 not coming until Volume 4. Womp womp.
