There's really not SO much left. VAGUE SPOILERS. The resolution of Jon's storyline with the upcoming surprise, with a scene or two showing the aftermath. 15 minutes, isn't that fair? Bran and company arrive at the tree and meet the entity that summoned him there. Although this is important, there's not actually much material, so I'd say another 5 minutes, maybe a bit more? Then, the Hound and Arya reach the end of their adventures, and they will meet Brienne, according to the promo (you see what is definitely Brienne's armor in a shot with the Hound and Arya.) Brienne's actress also said she would bite someone's ear off; now we know that is the Hound, apparently. So, another 10 minutes in total for the two pairs of adventurers (Brienne & Pod and Arya & the Hound), including Arya's resolution and setup for her next storyline. Daenerys' big scene with her dragons, another 10 minutes at most. They'll probably wrap up Yara Greyjoy's slim story with a certain event that has been delayed long enough, setting up the big Greayjoy storyline for season 5. So, 5 minutes? King's Landing will probably take the rest of it, with about 20 minutes of arguing (the promo shows Cersei and Tywin shouting at each other and Jaime and Cersei kissing) and Tyrion's resolution. That's 65 minutes. Maybe they don't need 15 for the Wall or 20 for King's Landing, and that time is spread out for the previously mentioned threads, particularly Bran, Brienne and Yara. The Boltons and Sansa had a perfect resolution in episode 8, I doubt we'll see them again. So that's it. 66 minutes. Long enough to wrap everything up, in my opinion.
