More than two, taking into account they normally go down to updates every two weeks closer to the time (In June?).

Given the size of previous Flying Programmes, not only at RIAT but some other major events in the dim and distant past, I should say comfortably so!
The most I've seen on a programme was probably RIAT around 1997, about 60 or so items (not counting positioning movements) with the runner up being Finningley in 1987, 52 items or there abouts, in 7 hours and 30 minutes. Perhaps making the latter the most compact. But for some really impressive stuff, try and get a hold of some of the 1960s B.O.B. at home day programmes, usually not much more than 3 hours in length and sometimes over 40 items!

Re: Flying display length
I for one hope that it goes back to the traditional length of a couple of years ago (7 hours?). They used to start proceeedings with a drive past of Emergency Services vehicles, I enjoyed that (I have no idea why, maybe its like the raising of the curtain at the cinema) and I hope that returns as well.

Must admit I enjoyed the drive past too. Shows just how many emergency vehicles are actually present (and I bet that's not all of them!), a thing I bet most people don't even consider. The "I don't really want to be a hero but will if it all goes wrong (heaven forbid)" of the airshow
