It really just is just a matter of time. Were they able to have longer episodes then it would mean less time gaps or more logical time gaps. Gaps lasting weeks or months are still pretty common in episodic works because certain things simply cannot happen in a very short time frame. They needed to allow months to pass in order for them to start up the Vytal Festival arc and that means they had to allow for gaps in time between the episodes. Longer episodes might have allowed for some stories to fill in the gaps a little, but there would have probably still been a need for lengthy gaps.
