I doubt they'll stretch it out that badly, I seem to recall they were saying 7-8 seasons max to not wear out their popularity. With some of aFFC and aDWD likely making it into season 4 I would be surprised if they took more than 3 seasons for those books, and even then that may be a bit much.
It'll be interesting to see though, since GRRM specifically split the geography of the books to not end that section of story in the middle for the characters, which the tv structure will necessitate.
It's not as though the narratives for many of these characters actually ENDED in book 4, and they DID leave a major cliffhanger anyway in that book which severely pissed me off
Leaving Brienne with the noose around her neck. REALLY?!
