The money situation could play an interesting part in the composition of the episodes. If they were given the coffers to afford S7 and S8 but they just want to wrap up the IP, it could go down two ways:

1) Spread the production money evenly across all thirteen episodes, making all the episodes one notch better than your average GoT episode

2) Keep the first ten episodes of S7 budgeted similar to previous seasons, but pump the rest into making the final three episodes of the show run spectacular

There are supposed to be two more seasons totaling 13 episodes. There hasn't been any official breakdown of how the seasons will be split.
