I gave examples, where they even animated more than 90 chapters in 2 cour anime. So it's all possible.

HxH is fast paced itself and they are doing low number on chapters, in order to not catch up to the manga. All long ongoing anime are going slowly. But just check the examples I gave, they are all 2 cour anime and none of them was done with 2 chapters per episode average. Toriko Episode 2 (since ep1 is OP crossover) covered 2 chapters = total of 90 pages; Episode 3 covered 5 chapters = total of 100 pages; Episode 4, 4 chapters = total of 80 pages. And there were even fillers in that. After that, it went more slowly. Nanatsu first eps, will be definitely done in similar matter, one of the reasons is that, they will rush to introduce other characters, like Diane (to keep the interest of the viewers and to not be lost after the first eps) and Gilthunder (an big enemy), then Ban. They want to introduce important characters (especially the likable) quickly, so that to not lose the viewers early, like I said.

An arc can always end unexpected or without giving answers to the things you want. Many things haven't been revealed in the arc, but that doesn't mean they will be revealed. What happened with Gowther, who is the teleporting knight, etc can all be answered in a single chapter or even after the arc.
