Something I've been interested in is how much was written by Mark and David and how much by David and I think I've got an idea and I have the pieces to kind of make it work.
Kristine McKenna writes in
Room to Dream
"In January 2015 Lynch and Frost turned in a 334-page script to the network"
which Frost seems to disagree with in
Conversations with Mark Frost.
"going back to Kristine’s timeline: On October 6, 2014, you guys both sent the tweet out that “It is happening again.” Then in January 2015, you turned in a 334-page script to Showtime. That’s all accurate?"
"I believe so, yeah. Although I think it was longer than that."
Then there's the copyright the script which was 389 pages as of 07/16/2015.

And Peter Deming
says seems to peg the final script at 520+ pages and he seems to be one of the few people to get to read the whole script
"And despite being a ‘series,’ it was conceived and produced as a very, very long feature film working with a script of 525+ pages with one director and one crew. "
"After I read the script, 520-some pages, I certainly remembered the characters and situations from the original show."
Additionally according to
Mark
"Part 8 was "maybe 12, 15 pages."
And he gives that 12-15 number in multiple places.
Here's where I get out of the facts and into assumptions which I'm going to base on the 389 number being what Mark and David wrote together since it was copyrighted with that, Mark believes it was longer than 334 pages, and McKenna seems to get multiple Peaks related things wrong throughout
RtD. Which leads me to when I transcribed the Combined Dialogue and Continuity lists in to script form my final page count was 524 pages and Part 8 came out to 14 pages, which lines up with what Frost and Deming have to say.
So, based on that, I would hazard a guess that Lynch wrote around 130 additional pages, or ~25% of the season.
