Brandon Sanderson actually did a better job with that than Jordan would have done. Writing a credible battle sequence is really hard to do, let alone for hundreds of pages. He also decided that the story couldn't be compressed into ending after 12, and made it a baker's dozen in order to tell the story properly. It's the best thing that could have happened to the Wheel of Time, because honestly that story was becoming a giant 80 tentacle squid monster.
They have cast the television series already, and I have to admit that I'm a little worried about their compression of the story on film. It will either be brilliant, or a Shanarra/Sword of Truth sized mess.
(I actually liked the Sword of Truth tv series. Horrible Xena-like scripts, but perfect casting.)
