My guess is that before the season started, RT had a nice headstart but by Ep 4 they ran out of time becuase we only got a 16 min episode. This tells me they have the budget to animate around 15 minutes of a show in 1 week if there is a fight scene every other episode.

Next week we will either get a WoR or Raven's exposition will be essentially a WoR. This will allow RT to work ahead. So no fight scene in Ep 5.

We might have a fight scene in Ep6 but I think they will spend all of Ep 6 on Juane's training and setting up the massive fight in Ep7 at the bandit camp. Why a massive fight at ep7? Because ep7 is the midvolume finale and they want people to be satified so they will return after the holidays for ep8. Because animators get the holidays off this formula is pretty easy to predict.

Currently, we know CME are headed to the bandit camp so that might be the midvolume fight. And/or it could be Blake vs Illia which we saw in the opening. We also saw Nora and Ren vs Hazel but there is no way that happens in the first half of V5.

Ep8-14 are hard to predict so early but i suspect we will get some fights over Spring, Spring is fleshed out, Juane's semblence reveal and first use, Ren and Nora vs Hazel, team RWBY reunion, Blake moving up to Mistral, lionheart's betrayal revealed, and a big fight over the relic of Knowledge.

I don't think the reunion will happen without blake. It feels incomplete done that way, instead i think she will find a means of finding her way to mistral through looking for the white fang which her faunus friend is apart of and maybe they have a fight or a disagreement that leads her to yang and weiss since most evil factions are looking for the spring maiden in the first place. Then ruby will be the last to return to her team.

(maybe a tiny fight occurs or none at all)(remember not everything in the intro is true. For example weiss fighting emerald in vol 2 & e's op only for them not to say a single word to each other in both volumes)
