Hmm, good point. That would definitely explain why Ozpin didn't just end Cinder directly, the King piece rarely fights his own battles, he was simply wearing her down for his ace in the hole to land the killing blow. And it almost worked. Yes, that defiitely explains a lot of what happened in the last episode of Volume 3, not to mention most of the series. Salem and Ozpin's seemingly eternal conflict seems to be one big chess game, Salem won the first arc but the game is far from over, now Ozpin is incognito, free to enact whatever plans he has in mind without Salem thwarting him. Very clever man, that Ozpin.
