He specifically stated that they were using the third film to include things concerning Bilbo, the Dwarves, Gandalf, the White Council and the Necromancer which they would not have time to do in two films. It seems the plan was always to shoot BoFA this Summer, so new extensions are probably not taken into account, and go far beyond the scope of BoFA. But most of it had already been filmed. The third film was announced just as filming was going to wrap. Taking the same amount of production days as the 3 LOTR films, they had filmed 2 Hobbit films. They then made the decision that they already had enough material to turn it into 3 films, excluding pick-ups and the filming of the BO5A this year. Before the split, AUJ was supposed to end with the barrel escape. Apart from late changes to Azanulbizar and the Carrock scene, the rest of AUJ that we saw had already been filmed. Though PJ specifically stated they were going to use the third film so that they include the events of The Hobbit, the White Council/Dol Guldur sub-plot, and detail the history between the Dwarves and Orcs, they meant through using the scenes they had already filmed. My point is that AUJ wasn't expanded after the 3 film split - it simply meant they didn't have to delete so much out of the film. I expect they had proposed making three films long before they officially announced it, hence why they were able to film so much. Yes, there will be some additional scenes (ones to tie with the two other films, and the LOTR trilogy), and to re-film some scenes that didn't work. But they've already got the main and vital scenes for both sub-plots and the main plot. BO5A is the only substantial scene left. They had so much material they wanted to make 3 films out of it. Not they wanted to make 3 films, so they have to film lots more.
