How many parts will TLD have?

I think if the book is significantly longer than the previous entries, say 650 or 750 pages (pure guesswork but not unprecedented in the history of fantasy series--think of the much less credible scale of the "final" books in the Sword of Truth and Wheel of Times series, stretched out into three actual individual books), this might allow for it to be divided into 3 parts. This would suggest a major subfinale for the first and second parts, and maybe 2 final finales (pardon the expression) for the last part. And imagine if it were 1,000 pages?(!). Four parts, etc. Of course, maybe it'll just be two. Remember also, though, that TOT had three parts. So did TIW. (I don't count WGW and don't remember TWL or TROTE.)
What would this mean? Four finale-like chapters or situations would imply four major problems solved. What four problems would be the most serious in the story? What might some of the implications of this be?
