About 5 battles, remember this is a 1-2 league, not the LBL. You don't have to read 2 verses that are 10-20 lines. You need to read 8 lines total. Voting on 5 battles here takes much less time than the 4 of the LBL.

About how to vote, breaking down 4 bars shouldn't take long at all. I'll put it to you this way, if someone went in your battle against Sobe this week and just said "Vote - Sobe" and left no explanation wouldn't you be pissed? Due to the amount of voters who don't like to explain things, it is unfortunately necessary to require voting a certain way to ensure all votes are explained. When the league gets to the point that I see every single person is explaining their vote, the requirement will be taken away.
