As long as the story is not being repetitive, then it's good. In my revision for SiD, I will be extending the Kuril mission to maybe up to three chapters. But to the real question, I would just advise you to do as much as you need for the planet and not worry about leaving if you're not finished.

If you are spending too much time there, then you would be rushing to get off the world to progress the story. If it's stretched, then it's because you can still enrich what you've got.

PS: You're not a typical author in any event. lol

Thanks for the last compliment. Naturally, people's talent improves with practice. I can notice your improvements, but it may be because you've always been active where my talent was latent until last year. I don't think you'll see much more improvement from me, though. You're still going to improve for years to come.
