I interpretted that as:

Volume 1 had 10 chapters split into sixteen episodes, with the other half of those chapters appropriately named "X Part 2". However even with these split episodes they still needed a week off in October to finish up some episodes (Monty was quite literally animating the next episode during the airing of the previous).

Volume 2 on the other hand will have 12 chapters that are not split in any way. The full chapter will air in a single week (meaning Emerald Forest and Emerald Forest Part 2 would be one whole episode had Volume 1 used said format). And that for say three or four weeks we would get a new episode of RWBY. They would then take a week off from the actual story and, in its place release easier to make videos relating to RWBY. I doubt the actual content of those videos is anything major to the plot and I believe they will potentially focus on world-building. So we'd get more in-depth explanations as to how semblances, weapons, aura and dust work and potentially something to enrich the lore between humans, faunus and Grimm.

As I said,  the trailers that could potentially air for Volume 2 (apart from being awesome to watch) would not have the same effect as the Volume 1 traiilers. There is nothing to introduce or develop on. Sure we could have a Ren trailer in which he kicks the crap out of three ursi... but couldn't that just be placed in the show? I don't understand why everyone is hooked on the idea of trailers. There is nothing to be gained from them that couldn't be gained from having said scenes in the show itself aside from giving their impatient fans some cool ninja flips to watch while the wait.
