Shogun, at least the TV version (I'm old enough to remember when it premiered), was a mini-series, so basically a series of books.
The disparity in length sounds pretty proportional to me.

They made Shogun into a mini-series but it is a single book, the same as "Roots" or "North and South." (At 53 hours, do you blame them?) There is a series, and some of those were also made into mini-series back in the day. I believe "Noble House" and "Tai-Pei" were made into mini-series (I remember Pierce Brosnan, back before Bond, was in the latter), though there are 7 books in the series.
