Good connection.

What I think will happen is that there will be a whole chapter that takes a break from the overarching plot so it can be solely devoted to building and developing relationships between the characters.

I'm probably going to get vilified for saying this, but I think The Legend of Korra did this really well, by having a whole episode to grind away at all the inter-character tension. While Korra used Pro-bending as the drive, RWBY will probably do the same thing with training floor exercises. For example, Weiss and Blake get into a heated argument just before a 4x4 team match, and Team RWBY does really badly. Weiss and Blake would blame each other, Yang would be furious that they weren't acting as a team, and Ruby would just be really sad and confused by all the bickering.

Eventually, it would all be resolved though. Perhaps in this case, Ruby and Yang get knocked out of the match, then Weiss and Blake are forced to put their differences aside so they can pull out a victory. Cap that with a little "D'awwww" moment at the end of the episode, and there you have it. Thank you! I applaude you on that Legend of Korra reference. That is an amazing show and I don't understand why some people have problems with it. With that being said, I couldn't have said it better myself. In order to come together as an effective team, they must first resolve conflicting issues caused by personality clashes. That's why  I think the first half of this season will deal with what you mentioned, and character development, with the latter half coming into the action half, which also introduces new problems. Who knows, it may take them actually having to rescue one another before they dissolve their animosity.
