Monty, Kerry and Miles have named GoT as an inspiration for RWBY before, so I definitely think they've taken note of the pacing in that show. Honestly, I think four weeks is long enough for people to forget where the previous episode left off for a character.

I also don't think they'd be so rigid as to go sequentially R, W, B, Y. Some storylines will probably have more ground to cover than others. For instance, I can't see Yang's storyline starting as quickly as RNJR's.

They'll probably also want to keep things chronological, and some events are likely to have effects on other plot threads. For example, if something big happens in Ruby's storyline that also effects Yang's, I can't see them waiting 2-3 weeks before showing that. They'd be severely limiting themselves for no discernible reason at all if they kept to a specific sequence. Hmm, I can see your point about one girl's actions affecting another's storyline, that I can see happening. As long as they don't have to many plot threads going at a single time, they should be alright. As much as I enjoy a diverse plot, if it becomes too diverse it becomes a chore to follow. That's why I thought at first they'd do each girl's arc in a structured manner (Ruby's three episodes, Weiss' three episodes, Blake's three episodes, and finally Yang's three episodes), makes things much less confusing in the long run. But we'll find out how they proceed in another three months. Until then...
