We've known the series is ending for awhile now. As you said, it's been confirmed by several voice actors (Dinsmore, Yarmush, and Kardos), not to mention Peter Hirsch. I have no doubt the series in ending soon ("soon" being a purposely vague term).

There is still some conflicting information regarding how many episodes we are still anticipating. While Bailey explicitly says he directed all 250 eps and 24 seasons in total, we've also gotten word of "four more seasons" which, at the time of that announcement, would bring us to Season 25. Bottom line is: we still have new episodes coming, we're just not sure how many and when. Unfortunately, given the way PBS releases new episode information for its programming, we really just have to wait and see.

As far as the "7 specials" go: Greg did not direct Arthur's Missing Pal; that was Yvette Kaplan. He did direct Arthur's Perfect Christmas (1), Arthur: It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (2), Arthur: D.W. and the Beastly Birthday (3), and Arthur and the Haunted Tree House (4). It's possible he's including the video special (5) Arthur's New Friend. Coming in January 2020, Rhythm and Roots of Arthur (6) is being released on PBS. Not sure what the last special is for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to be the series finale. Quite honestly, it's probably difficult to wrap up a two-decade long series in a two-part 30 minute episode (let alone a standard 15 minute episode). An hour special to finish everything off could be the proper send-off I'm hoping for.
