There are 17 Death Stranding 2 Episodes, telling the story of Sam Porter Bridges and the Drawbridge crew as they work together to connect Australia and avert disaster. Death Stranding 2 is actually a couple of Episodes longer than the first game but features 30 fewer Main Orders, so the length sort of balances out.
It's important that you also bear in mind that the Episodes in DS2 vary in length massively, with some featuring many Main Orders, making for a multistage delivery trek, while others are mostly cutscenes with short gameplay sequences.
