My sense is many people would probably happily see almost an entire book devoted to post climax wrap up.
You've also jogged my memory about Harry Turtledove's Timeline 151 stories. (How Few Remain to In At The Death) It's an eleven novel series with probably 6000 pages and a good twenty characters. The 'climax' is close to four hundred pages from the end of the last novel, and I did not begrudge Turtledove a single one of those pages for his wrap up. (Though it also occurs to me, that at about 400 pages shy of the end of the series, his climax is still within 10% of the end of the story arc as a whole.)
