Through either inexperience or, possibly, Monty being massively overconfident about what they could squeeze in on a budget, RWBY has been a big learning experience for RoosterTeeth. I think that the production team are only now finding their feet and getting the pacing and story progression under some kind of reasonable control.

From what I've read, Monty had a specific story to tell and a planned-out way to tell it. There will probably are going to be a fixed number of volumes up to the end of the story. So, unless the costs spiral out of control or merchandising and off-site views on sites like YouTube don't pay for themselves, I can't see RT dropping the show before they reach that end point.
