The second batch is likely to be the same as the first one, at most with some minor improvements. The 055A, with more significant upgrades, e.g. IEPS, railgun, takes more time. China has the pressure and need to put more 055's into service asap, given the drastically changing strategic environment.
I'm guessing the second batch would be in the 4-8 units range.
