Arc 4 and 5 in 25 episodes is entirely possible but the question is will WF do a 2 cour season like the first season. I have a strong feeling they might go for a 13 episode adaptation of Arc 4 (as a direct sequel to OVA 2 i.e. Bundle the two works together) or would go all out for 25 episodes to include Arc 5 as well.

Also keep in mind Re:Zero S1 was technically 26 episodes since ep 1 was 50 min (i.e. Part A and Part B). So it's not out of question for WF to do a sequel series that is just as long. To make a first season as long as that (and with that level of quality) tells me that WF/Kadokawa bet big time that it would succeed. Since it did do really well it would be more surprising if they opted for option 1 (13 eps) instead.

Also I think 25 episodes for Arc 4 is overkill given the fact that the anime always follows the LN's not the WN's and Tappei has already done the brunt work to slash Arc 4's size to around 6 volumes (same size as Arc 3 - which is amazing when you think about it). Anyway OVA 2 is the production we need get past to know whether S2 is ever coming. Stay patient folks.
