Just sort of an additional mini-arc per season half. Example: 4a had Hook keeping a secret, Rumple finding a hat, etc falling under the major arc of "Cleave", but Elsa's problem, Ingrid, Shattered Sight was all under the "Frozen" arc. Generally in any given season the double episode is sort of like a mini-arc with season 6's Hyde mini-arc actually being like 6 episodes. We also haven't had season long arcs like this since Season 2, which is probably why it seems like so much is going on.
