They signed for 5 years and those delays were introduced in this one.
It's also not like it is just them two only creating those episodes, majority of the work is done by other people and they got plenty of money to hire whomever they need to.
No, the writing and direction is primarily done by Trey Parker. After his "written by" credits for 325 episodes, and Matt Stone's "written by" credits for 28 episodes, the next up are David R. Goodman for 9 episodes and Nancy Pimental for 7 episodes.
For directing, Trey Parker has credit for 311 episodes, with Eric Stough directing 15 (all before 2002) and Matt Stone directing 9.
The creative process most certainly uses a team effort, but there are two voices doing almost all of the story structure, and that's a natural bottleneck in the process. If you've seen 6 Days to Air, you can see that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are very much involved.
