To be clear: I was referring to The Stand, which is a single, long book. When it was originally published he was a best selling author and his publisher made him trim the book down by a few hundred pages.
Twelve years later, he was STEPHEN KING and he was able to get the book published as he'd intended.
The series you're thinking of is The Dark Tower. I've never read all of it. But I always remember King saying that he wrote it as it came to him and there was every possibility that the series would never end.
