I'd like to be proven wrong of course, but he can be overindulgent. King Kong was a fun, silly movie, but it didn't need to be over 3 hours long.
With LotR, it made sense to split it into three long movies, because the book was split into three long epic books, each of which was more detailed and significantly longer than The Hobbit. If the end result is a 9 hour Hobbit movie... well I don't know, I'd like to believe that could work, as ludicrous as it sounds.
