2 seems likely, yeah. 2 premium story expansions was all Fallout 4 got and it was a bigger success than Starfield (Fallout 4 seemed to sell somewhere around 17-19m copies in the first 14 months, Starfield is at 14m players, with Gamepass, after 9 months, sales probably not even half that amount). Fallout 4 got Nuka-World and Far Harbor as premium story expansions with new map areas. Fallout 4 did additionally get some new story content in it's Automatron and Vault-Tec Workshop DLC's, but they weren't full on premium story expansions with new map areas, their quests took part in the main game map and they each only added around 2-3 hours of story quests. It is worth noting though that Nuka World and Far Harbor were pretty substantial in size, they each added about twice the hours of content as each of Fallout 3's premium story DLC's.
Even Skyrim, by far their most successful game to date, only got 2 premium story expansions, Dawnguard and Dragonborn, it's 3rd was focused on player housing and adopting children.
Gone are the days where Bethesda would do like 5 premium story expansions for their singleplayer games like Fallout 3 got. Game development takes longer than it used to in those days, and honestly Bethesda is somewhat undersized for a AAA dev considering they are trying to work on Starfield DLC, Elder Scrolls 6, and Fallout 76 DLC all at once with around 500 devs.
Starfield will presumably get 2 premium story DLC's, official mod support, maybe a base construction expansion or some new randomly generated planets to explore, and that will be that, time to move on fully to Elder Scrolls 6 so that it doesn't take until like 2030 to release.
