(Yang training, Sea Dragon, Illia, Geist, Tyrian, Nuckleeve) Well, fights are RWBY's main attraction and the only thing it really does right (even if quality varies), so of course. 3 fights in 1 Vol. would be shit.

The fact that there would be more time available means more fights can be added, and at some points there were times were a fight would've made sense even if it was plot-unimportant.

For example, how many times did we actually see RNJR fight Grimm on the road, even if it was just a small skirmish with Beowulves and Creeps? Aside from the opening, about never. Even when it would've made perfect sense even with Qrow making their journey easier.

Or maybe show Merc and Emerald sparring, and then Hazel deciding to spar against both of them, showing them "how it's done" (IOW kicking their asses flawlessly). It would've made Hazel be more than a quasi-ghost the entire Volume.

We could've also seen some more of the Charity Party Weiss was a part of. It could've included a small fight against, say, some robots, as a show for the audience.

More ideas are possible with the extra time.
