Yeah I agree, the filler episodes recently have been very stale especially last season (I haven't watched eps 4, 5 and 6 lol). I doubt a 7 to 10 episodes will work with how huge Supernatural's lore though.

The formula of an episode with just Sam and Dean fighting some tired ass monster expired a long time ago. IMO, they should write at least one or two recurring characters and have them hunt with the brothers.
