Davem's talking about length. The Lewis tale, based on Tolkien, wouldn't be substantially longer than the
Book of Lost Tales "Fall of Gondolin", and that isn't nearly comparable to the
Children of Húrin's length. Likewise, the longest official compilation of "Beren and Lúthien" wouldn't be nearly long enough.
Ergo, if you want to produce a trilogy... you'd have two very slim volumes going with
The Children of Húrin.
