We can do this, all the tailed beast have a chakra of 1,000 based on the number of they're tails.
Shukaku has 1000
Bakeneko has 2000
Giant turtle has 3000
the Ape thing has 4000
The weird looking...what the heck is that has 5000
the even weirder looking has 6000
the bug has 7000
Hachibi has 8000
Kyuubi has 9000
now add 1,000 + 2000 + 3000 + 4000 + 5000 + 6000 + 7000 = 28000 that is how much Madara has in its arsenal.
on the Hachibi and Kyuubi is 8000 + 9000 = 17000 that's how much they're powers combined would make.
The difference is quite big though 11000 now consider uniting all of it together, the Juubi would have a power of well...around 45000 which would be a complete disaster to all that stand in its way.
PSS I just came up with the numbers completely randomly

Those numbers make sense, but don't represent the manga. It has been said in it that the Hachibi and Kyuubi together have more chakra than all other Bijuu combined, if I remember correctly. I tend to believe that their powers increase exponentially by each Bijuu, not linearly as this represents. So the Kyuubi wouldn't be only 12.5% stronger than the Hachibi but have many times bigger reserves than Hachibi.
Think this way. Splitting the beasts, by the RS, in a linear fashion would be stupid. That is because the beasts could easily reunite to form the Juubi. By far, if the chakra is distributed at an accelerating fashion, it becomes harder to have the numbers and the amounts line up. Mathematically, this makes no sense and it is almost impossible to combine them again. I'm not going to really go into it since most people wouldn't get it but lets just say this: If the chakra was distributed like that, Madara wouldn't NEED to fight the world. The Juubi would be recreated naturally, since that is the most probable state.
As for the time-skip, I'd like to think that it would be no more than two chapters. Just to wrap it up. And the losing Kyuubi, well first off it's been debated for years and I tend to see people conclude it's unlikely.
Amrikandesi93, what you said, It's like the thousandth time I've heard it. It's contradictory. There would be no point in wasting 200+ chapters on that issue to get it to what it is and then do a complete cop-out.
Oh and we made it to two centuries. Now we just have to get to over 9000!
