Here's how I see it: we're wrong to say the mid-season break is imminent. How I understood what was said by Monty is that the mid-season break is after episode 16; after the break we get volume 2, which will be of similar length.

Regarding the current plot arc, I expect the initiation to end in two or three episodes time. We still need the big action sequence and the return to the cliff-top where Ozpin will be awaiting and ready Master Yoda to channel. The next arc, running from around Episode 10, will be settling down and the first formal lessons; we might also get Roman and Crimson causing trouble in the background and Glynda having to forcibly stop our heroes from rushing off half-cocked to 'do something about it'.

I expect a shock revelation and/or tragedy in episode 16 to act as a link to the events in Volume 2. Maybe an attack on one of the characters' families by Grimm that somehow got into the safe zone of Vale City.
