What do we call chapters 340-348 then? seems too short to be considered an arc. Also it doesn't follow a three act structure where it has a first, second and a third final act. That's also the reason why both Zoldyck Family and Heavens Arena can be considered an arc because they both act as their own seperate story. 340-348 can't because it didn't have a conclusion. On the contrary, it opened a barrel of questions.

I think these are the 2 most viable options we have.

1. Just one big arc-> Dark Continent arc that contains everything. (Just like we did with the Chimera Ant arc)

2. The Succession Contest arc starts at chapter 340 and ends when they reach the New Continent or exit the Black Whale. (It's true that we didn't know about the 14 princes in Chapter 340 but we knew about Nasubi and Kakin's plans so in a way it kinda fit to be the arc's beginning.)
