What is this then:

For the last several months, he’s been cranking out chapters with blazing speed, under the guidance of his new canine buddy Bru and his wife Kitty’s four majestic cats.

Sounds more like he has 60 chapters done. If he still writes the way he did the first 15 books, then there is no detailed outline for each book. Just a few major events that have been plotted out rough since he started the series. And he may have already finished those. How to get from one event to the next he makes up as he goes. Once the whole book is done, it starts going to the edit phase.
I doubt after they let him write
The Aeronaut's Windlass in the length it is, that they will make him cut out chapters he already wrote to make the book smaller.
