Gege implied it will end this year, which leaves us around six months left. Assuming he releases 3 chapters per month on average then that's 18 chapters left, which obviously isn't enough for another arc
tbf manga artists very often underestimate when their series will end and undershoot it, I think Gege has even said it'll end before at an earlier date and it's continued on, mainly since when writing manga a lot of the story development is going to be developed as you go along with only a rough outline. So you can have a rough structure of a story and think "yea I could do this in about 20 or so chapters" but then when it comes to certain plot points new ideas come up, new concepts, new twists, etc., and that's believable in this case with Gege's recent statements of wanting to start with a fresh mind set towards the series since he believes he was forcing himself to rush certain things this arc, and all the potential ways JJK can continue on far beyond 18 chapters (Sukuna's death will be at least 4-5 chapters from now imo, the merger, a heian era flashback is possible, Uraume vs Hakari, and the aftermath of it all), where the only way I can see 18 chapters being the end is if Sukuna wins via killing Yuta and then killing everyone inside his DE in the coming chapters (the bad ending).
