So, to date, there are only three completed novellas. They take place within about 3 years of each other. So Egg can be a tween/early tween for all of the three that written to date (The Hedge Knight (Season 1), The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight (my Fave).

Martin has, to varying degrees, working titles and sketched out 9 more. He's talked about wanting to end the series with the historic events that ASOIF Lore references (Summerhall) but who knows if the last sketched out novella goes that far.

Allegedly Ira and the show have seen the future novellas outlines, so they could adapt from notes like late stage GoT did ,but frankly I'm not expecting the show to last that long because of the realities of TV these days. Ira (the showrunner) has even talked about how they're going to be even more streached on budget in Season 2 because The Sworn Sword includes a drought setting and you can't just film outside in Ireland.
