Looking at GoT, they're packing about 80 pages into an hour and there's still some moments where the pace is problematic. To put two books into just 12 episodes, you're looking at well over 100 pages an hour (EYE OF THE WORLD and GREAT HUNT combined are about 1500 pages). Even trimming out the description, I think it's either undoable, or only doable by sacrificing a lot of events.
A bigger problem is that the scope of WHEEL OF TIME compared to GoT in terms of locations, special effects, creature effects and prosthetics and so on is much higher, and GoT isn't exactly lacking in those areas.

The Sopranos and Lost were hugely successful, and they were both six seasons long.

This could still work with a 13 episode season

Based on GoT, I'm not too sure about that.

Hmm, I think American Gods might translate well onto screen. I hadn't heard of that yet
