If I had to break what I assume Part 2 (of 3) is going to cover into 18 or so parts, I'd assume the following, with Fort Condor folded into Junon, the Chocobo Ranch folded into Kalm, North Corel folded into the Gold Saucer/Corel Prison, and Gongaga cut entirely, to decrease the workload on the number of individual 'sets' that need to be put together for what is in all likelyhood the most asset-hungry installment of the trilogy, and now that the plot is a lot less coy about the Zack plotline, Gongaga is a lot of work for little payoff, given that Aerith and Tifa's convo and hinting can go in plenty of other spots. Also, sans the Chocobo Breeding minigame returning, I'd like to see each party member get a unique, named Chocobo, which can be smuggled over on the cargo ship, and then replace the Buggy as our land transport of choice for most of the game. Would help make up for the loss of the World Map and a lot of connective tissue sequences between locations.
1) The Kalm Flashback
2) Kalm and Chocobo Wrangling
3) Chocobo Zolom Chase + Sephiroth's Taxidermy Skills + Mithral Mine
4) Junon (Biggs/Wedge, if alive, pop back up briefly, Yuffie joins the party while spying on Shin-Ra)
5) Boat Espionage
6) Costa Del Sol (Aerith and Tifa go shopping, Cloud carries their stuff.)
7) North Corel + Corel Prison + Gold Saucer Part 1
8) Cosmo Canyon
9) Nibelheim
10) Rocket Town
11) Wutai
12) Gold Saucer Part 2 (The play we join on the Date is the same acting troupe Jessie was a part of. Feels are had. Remains a Aerith/Barret/Tifa Choice, now that the standout for the Canon one, Aerith, no longer needing to occur due to the plot being less coy about Zack and her related character development. Barret's 'Date' is mostly about that Jessie connection)
13) The Temple of the Ancients
14) Bone Village
15) The Forgotten Capital
16 Icicle Village
17) Gaea's Cliff/The Whirlwind Maze
18) The Kalm Flashback, Revisited
Aside from that, I could see Wutai being 2 Chapters, due to its increase in plot relevance in Part 1, and a 'Filler' Chapter just after Nibelheim where Tifa guides the party over the mountains to Rocket Town, as in the OG plot she needs a little time to shine on her own, and the location and symbolism are pretty important going forward.

Red might have a hard time too…?
