That are 20 (21) of the originally intended 48 aircraft.

I re-did my production rate calculation ... and the result – especially if mated with the c/ns – is interesting, since it fits nicely:
Batch 01:
No. 100 = c/n 0101 - 22.4.14
No. 101 = c/n 0102 - 2.5.14
No. 102 = c/n 0103 - 2.12.13
No. 103 = c/n 0104 - 2.12.13
No. 104 = c/n 0105 - 19.5.14
No. 105 = c/n 0106 - 22.5.14
No. 106 = c/n 0107 - 20.3.15
No. 107 = c/n 0108 - 1.10.14
No. 108 = c/n 0109 - 1.10.14
No. 109 = c/n 0110 - 12.11.14
... so these are 10 aircraft between December 2013 and November 2014 = 10 J-15 in 12 months (maybe less)
Batch 02:
No. 110 = c/n 0201 - 5.9.15
No. 111 = c/n 0202 - 12.10.15
No. 112 = c/n 0203 - 23.9.15
No. 113 = c/n 0204 - 3.9.15
No. 114 = c/n 0205 - 12.10.15
No. 115 = c/n 0206 - 12.6.16
No. 116 = c/n 0207 - 16.8.16
No. 117 = c/n 0208 - 16.5.16 ... reportedly lost
No. 118 = c/n 0209 - 31.11.16
No. 119 = c/n 0210 - 30.11.16
No. 120 = c/n 0211 - 15.12.16
... so these are 11 aircraft between September 2015 and December 2016 = 11 J-15 in 16 months (maybe less)
Would be interesting is the batch 01 J-16 fit exactly into this break of J-15-production, how many are produced and if the J-11B and BS production is continuing at a second line in parallel.

Beautiful just beautiful!
I don't think two seater J-15 necessarily has a separate production line. Volumes seen so far don't warrant it. Actually, volumes of J15 in total suggest not a production line but more of a station workshop kind of production method, where planes are built, several at a time within a hall, staying in one spot and various subystems and tools are brought to them if needed, depending on variant of the plane assembled.
If i had to guess, actually, i would wager J15s are made within the hall where J8 were previously made, up until 2011 or so.
Whereas most of the production concerning flankers is done in a separate halls, ones that were producing J11 throughout 2000s and early 2010s and are now producing J16.
