As mentioned previoussly, each LN seems to be adapting up to 20-30 chapters of the webnovel. This is actually a lot of content for one LN compared to how much the LN's used to adapt the  Arc 3 chapters i.e they are condensing the arc as much as possible (which I think is good because there is quite a lot of babbling happenning in the beginning of Arc 4 etc etc). If they keep up this pace then, it should only take about 4-5 LN's to adapt Arc 4, 2 of which have already been released (Volume 10 and 11). So after volume 12 comes out, volume 13 might be able to finish Arc 4 completely.

Despite this, any future anime sequel would need a minimum of around 20 episodes to get through all this content. In this case, the only way for any second season to adapt up till Arc 6 (where it is highly hinted that Rem might finally awaken) was if it were to be a 50 episode series - this is not unimaginable since Twin Star Exorcists got those many episodes and it's not as popular or crticially acclaimed (far from it). Of course this is anime we're talking about, if it isn't related to sports, shounen or harems the odds of a second season is really low (even if it is it's still not that high *cough* shingeki no kyojin).
