User blog comment:The LostWhisperer/Mid-season break?/@comment-10488475-20130908020011

Reposted my post from the RWBY Episode thread on the RT forums.

"I don't think there will be a break mid-volume. As it stands, Episode 16 should air on Oct 31st. With the DVD coming out on Nov 12th, if there were to be a break, it can only be for one week. That would have episode 16 air on Nov 7th.

Now a mid-season break is more likely. A two to three month break, with the 2nd volume of season 1 starting up in Jan or Feb. Would give them enough time to air all of volume 2 and give them another month and a half, to two and a half months before season 2 volume 1 (or season 1 volume 3) starts up in July next year."

If there is a break this week, when RWBY returns the following week. We'll then have another double length episode to start off the second half of Volume 1. Unless, as someone else has stated, there is going to be a short chapter and we'll only have 3 double length episodes every Volume.
