I'm going through their EW interviews but cannot find mention of the condensation decision. But there were many interviews; with full apologies, can you please link to the specific one you are referring to?

...as for character arcs....Sansa Stark's Vale storyarc had to be removed and make her get raped by Ramsay Bolton....in order to faithfully give her a full "Story" arc in one season?

The "Story" of Robb Stark doesn't fit in a single TV season it builds across three seasons. Most characters on this show didn't have a full character arc self-contained to one season, but which grew across many.
