Unless Starfield will be an insane success exceeding their wildest expectations. Maybe they would increase their team size by double with more Microsoft backing and could develop 2 games at once.
Fallout V = 6-8 years
Starfield II = 6-8 years
18 years minimum.
How optimistic of you
Between their focus on quality and sheer inability to clone Todd Howard so that there are two Todd Howards directing their games, and also the single Todd Howard in existence not getting any younger - I find that highly unlikely. They do acknowledge the issue of their titles getting longer and longer to develop, but they can't really do much about it other than acknowledging it.
And in a way, it's a very good thing for the consumer. For at least two reasons:
1) there won't be a Call or Duty or FIFA effect, when a game needs to be shipped every year - it's hard to come up with new concepts and make the game feel fresh and exciting every time.
2) there will be a lot pressure on the games to be a commercial success - so unlike in the past, when publishers often forced developers to release half-baked games early, it's the publishers who will actually delay games for additional polish just like it was done with Starfield - because the alternative is a decade of development time and a huge pile of money going down the drain, not to mentioned ruined reputation for the company (cough cough CD Project Red) that will make it problematic to sell other titles in the future.
