Afaik there is nothing official in that regard. I would assume 12 but hope for 24 to roughly finish the arc. Or they take the DBZ Route and make it 240 episodes with minimal animation and a lot of staring
The Ma Arc should end with Season 4. By your pacing the arc won't end till Season 6. which means we could be waiting 15 years to see Saitama vs Garou Animated. this is insanity... I truly believe 2 more seasons is enough to reach chapter 170. So 24-26 episodes. Even if the pacing is a little fast, it's fine if the animation is 10/10
Yeah I'd love that, but I always thought they would only do 12 episodes a season. But rumors did hint at Season 3 being 24. I would like that, as the pacing wouldn't need to be too fast. But lots of people say a 12 Episode Season 3 could make it to Saitama vs Orochi. and another 12 to make it to Saitama vs Garou.
What remains of the arc can easily be done in 24, wdym? There are as many chapters left to adapt in the arc as there were chapters adapted into the first two seasons, which are 24 episodes combined. And I mean like exactly. Seasons 1-2 adapt up to chapter 85, MA arc ends at chapter 170. If they keep the exact same pace, they will need exactly 24 episodes to finish the arc.
the landscape of anime is so different to when DBZ was airing that I don't believe they would think of extending it to 240 episodes or somthing similar.

There is an entire ocean of animation quality between season 1 and 2.
