I think 10 aircraft will be the absolute max for the foreseeable.
That's because there are only 10 A330, with 2 of those being transferred over to a secondary AOC (Virgin International Airways) at Gatwick for Carribean ops (not sure why but I'm sure we will find out in time).
It's been said all 8 LHR A330 will eventually all make their way to Manchester, with 5.5 of those already doing so, and then the 2 B747/A350 for Orlando. (I say 5.5 as the A330 for LAS etc is only here peak summer so therefore not fully based yet).
Given we have 2 A330 moving up to Manchester next summer, it's not unreasonable to suggest the other 2.5 could follow in 2018 and the last 2 in 2019.
