Now I'm wondering if we will end up getting 3 more short volumes, most likely requireing some padding. But what could be added to those volumes to fill them out? If volume #8 was #160 - 176, and volume #9 #177 - 192 making two large volumes instead, would it have made sense to stop volume #7 with #159?

Volume 9 would then be lined up to feature a lot of Frank Robbins art, so perhaps they'd opt for quantity over quality for that volume! :b

I would have to agree with Misrules13 that the most logical route will be that they're planning for 160-170, 171-181, 182-192. They'll be thin.... I might simply stick to my Essentials instead of buying 3 expensive books to complete the run!!

It would be a perfect separation for Englehart's run.

If Vol 8 was #160-175 and Vol 9 was 176-192 wouldn't the page count of both be in the 320s?

I'd still consider it very unlikely though, especially since they could have easily made these two volumes more reasonable by taking volume #7 to #162, but that ship has sailed. My best guess is that volume #8 has got to be #160 - 168 plus 2 bonus issues or the equivalent of something. I have no idea what that bonus could be, but I can't imagine them splitting up "Secret Empire". This may be the only possible bonus issue that could be included in volume #8, although it's probably not needed for anything but page count.
